Uh oh... did you rev it up and hear something break? or your just asking cause your curious? I hope its just cause your curious. And sorry I don't know the answer to that.

Re: high reving engines

if i had my guess i would say either (a)breaking a valve spring, and dropping a valve, (b)bending a pushrod (c)lifter collapsing....with the probability going a, b, c

you went a b a, not a b c Someone needs to relearn their alphabet :)


As for issues, it's generally valvetrain parts. Lifters, pushrods, springs, valves (imagine that, it's part of the valvetrain :P), etc. I think for the most part, our bottom end is fairly strong and, IIRC, no one has broken it just from brute power.

Re: high reving engines

Yeah but that is mainly associated with having springs that are underpowered.
