Agreed. Mine turns ~2300 RPM @ 60 MPH, does pretty well. Power really starts at 2500 RPM, shoot for that at or slightly above your cruising speed.

Don't touch the bearings unless you have valid reason. Lower end on these are usually trouble-free.
Hard start w/ good starter and battery which is helped by GPs indicate poor compression. May simply be rings but check the cylinder walls closely.
