wots the standard rev limit of a 1.6 16v corsa??

i changed engine at the weekend, my 1.4 16v sport revved to just before 6.5k and it hit the limit, the 1.6 16v goes right round to 7.5k

my old gsi stopped just before 7

Cannot be good for a standard 1.6 to go over 7k. I wouldn't want to take my car to that revs with or without a rev limiter

limit is 6500, but the rev counter does overread...

mine is 6500 standard limit, but goes around 6700 mark on dials before limiter kicks in...
