Liquorice ----- at 3400 RPM you are operating the engine at the top continuous rating. i do not believe you will get the max amount of hours before overhaul that you would get running at a lower RPM because you are working the engine hard. i operate my 2GM20F most of the time at 2200 RPM and 5.5 kn. this is easy on the engine. i am a retired diesel tech and i want my engine to last a long time.
