Default over rev opinion

I am having a PPI done on a 2008 with 62k. I am attaching the over rev report. it has some incidents but a good number of hours since anything has occurred, Thoughts? Waiting for borescope to be completed as it is a cold weather car but no other signs of problems.

Nothing that would prevent me from moving forward if the rest of the car is what you want. Many hours since any overrevs.

Agree with above. Last upper range overrev was over 800 hrs ago. I'd do the normal recommended PPI stuff including a scope but wouldn't let this deter me if everything checks out

This would not scare me away. Not only was range 4-5 over 800 hours ago , but also the very low ignition number in range 5 means that it just "kissed" the bottom/lower part of the range on the way up through range 4. For a car with 62k miles and only 7500 range 1 500 hours ago tells me this car was not driven very hard over it's life so far. I think I hit range 1 at least once a day just leaving my driveway!

Make sure to get an invasive borescope.
