as long as you keep the block from overheating and have decent lubrication( i guess thats part of the overheating prevention) and dont run out of gas, quite a long time.... for example, car engine's peak output rpm is around 4000~6000 rpm. i think... not diesel, gasoline... and not rotary engines either, which tend to have lower rpm peak power. car engine's redlines are a bit higher than the peak, so well,,, im confusing myself again.... help?
