How do I know if my IMRC is working?

for the past week I've been cruising all ends of acurazine and notices everyone eventually runs into the IMRC problem.

I read up you can check to see if it works by looking under the hood while buddy revs the motor, but how?

This car pulls hard so i doubt it'll need anything, but still I want to know how to trouble shoot it in the future when it DOES break. Cause nothing lasts forever.

much appreciated!

you rev the engine past 3800 rpm and there is a metal piece that will flip when it goes past that mark. look in the FAQ section, there are pictures and a video of what it looks like.

If you take the engine cover off, you'll see a valve on the left (or pass side) of the intake manifold. Rev the engine up and you should see it flip open.
