I opened a new thread for this as i had posted inside another thread, but hopefully someone can help me

Im having problems with my 111R since i fitted new (rebuilt) engine, the car will warm up and change cam but hit a dead limiter at 6500rpm (Cold limit is 5000ish), i have bought and fitted new "lift bolts" and removed both oil control valves and tested them on a 12v power supply, and they are both operating perfectly, both OCV filters have also been checked and are not blocked.. i have checked fuse R6 in the engine bay and this is fine... im out of ideas, anyone able to help me please?

P.S I am based in Ireland where there is now no official Lotus Dealer since Linders of Chapelizod have closed the lotus business so my only option is to bring it to a Toyota dealer who are very hesitant to deal with a Lotus.

I remember reading similar things before (although not encountered it on my 111r)...I'd head over to SELOC and ask them...someone's always been able to help me with mt S1 and S2 problems.
