With the subie the redline goes up about 1k and the overrev goes up about 1k
as well.  With the L4 conversions a lot depends on which variation you are
using.  Some of the older L4 have about the same limits as the WB engine.

Personally if you have a functional engine I would run it until it had
reached its limit.  I did that with my original aircooled engine.  However
after boiling the oil too often I decided to do the change ahead of schedule
before I killed the poor beast.  Even an oil cooler wasn�t much help for
some of my trips.
