Gas and diesel engines turn at the same speed at 3000RPM.

Now turbine engines spin faster than either diesels or gassers at 3000 RPM because they do not have pistons. Any engineer can tell you that

As for the 710 cap that is a valuable German only issue part. Count yourself lucky that you got one from the dealer. I tried to get on on eBay, but was out bid!
