Ill ask about the RPM, but he said you put a drop of 3/1 oil into each one before you lay it up. But that to me sounds like asking for trouble with seals pulling the rail every year.

Also, the guy that I sent them too after getting my year/make/model emailed me back and said he sees these style injectors clogged with ethonol all the time. So hopefully that's the case with mine.
