Revs have little to with mechanical sympathy. Of course an an engine shouldn't be revved hard from cold, but more important than the actual revs, is the load on the engine. It's the load on a cold engine that can really do harm. Revs are less important. Revs under a light load, are far less harmful IMO, than putting a higher load on a low revving engine. Forget any ill conceived advice about not exceeding 3000rpm. That's rubbish. Just drive the car easily until the engine the engine warms up. Obviously that doesn't include high revs, but there is no arbitrary figure you have to keep below. As it warms you can drive it a little harder, but still as if you had an egg between your foot and the accelerator pedal. Maybe a hard boiled one, but you get my drift.

There's knowing and really knowing. Don't confuse the two, which you often appear to do. Too many in this n-g do know the difference, and are all too happy to take you to task about them. Mike.
