Does high RPM hurt engine?

The absolute most stress on an engine occurs at high RPMs. The forces acting upon the rotating assembly are exponentially increased with RPM. That also increases the magnification of any oiling inconsistencies (as small as they may be nowadays), which can be deadly to engines.

Why does my RPM go below 1?

However, when the engine RPM drops below the normal range of 800 RPM (for most cars), it is more than likely that you are dealing with an IAC valve problem. In cases where this valve is clogged or is failing, your vehicle will stall instead of slowing to an idle after the release of the throttle.

Why is 7000 RPM the limit?

Petrol engines usually redline at 7000-8000 RPM while diesel hits the peak at around 4500 RPM. This is because diesel engines are not made for high RPM in the first place. They are slow to combust than petrol and are mainly focused on more torque rather than RPM.

Why do turbo engines not rev high?

It is simply much more expensive to make high reving Turbo petrols. Need much better balanced rotating components, lighter & stronger internals. NA engines may rev to much higher rpms but they aren't making much torque at those RPMs, high horsepower is simply coming from more revs( hence more bangs per minute).
