Wink RPM
Saint,
I'm not trying to sound like the village idiot but RPM is how many revolutions per minute your engine is turning. At 6000 rpm your crankshaft is turning over 100 times per second. At that incredible speed you can see how critical engine balance becomes. Your valves and rocker arm are a blur.

Fellas, am I right? Seeing those figures on paper floors me!
