The standard 4K gets the fuel mixed in the pots well at low rpm. It has good torque down low and is economical, very drivable. This is because it has a small carbie, and small manifolds. Driving a 4K hard, you notice that it won't want to rev past 5000rpm, and will get points bounce or something at about 5900-6000rpm. The points or valve bounce that it gets protects the engine, making it almost invincable. If you hold the throttle open, a pushrod will eventualy pop off the rocker, and you will be running on 3 cylinders. Just put in back on adn awy you go, no damage done.
To stop points bounce, get a electronic ingnition distributor. If you can;t find one, get the electronic guts out of a RB Gemini distributor, and use the matching coil and igniter.
To stop any valve bounce, get new or stiffer valve springs. This is the most expencive item, as you will probably have to take the head off. You can do some porting while at it.
That fixes the rpm problems. Now it will rev to 7500rpm? (I have not done this).
