5000 rpm seems pretty high revs for a diesel....I would imagine that it is limited !

Pretty sure that diesel engines generally top out (BHP-wise) around 4000rpm, and the top end of their range is pretty flat as a characteristic - kinda like a trade-off for all that low-end torque :)

revving it that high all the time will blow the engine up
