Sun, 09 November 2003 16:57 Okay, so if I blueprint the engine to theoretical factory tolerances and balance the bottom end using factory forged (polished) rods, AGZE 8:1 pistons, a steel sandwich head gasket, pocket ported heads with a 3 angle valve job and a custom port matched large plenum intake, I'll need to figure out what revs bring the piston speed up to 4000 ft/second and set my redline just under that? Is that right? What is the factory redline? Obviously, I won't be bumping the redline everytime I drive but I have heard that taking an engine past the max piston speed even once can exceed the elastic limits of the steel and cause permanent deformation of the parts. I'm guessing thats what mrshin was talking about with his stretched rod bolts. I certainly want to build a performer thats going to last a while. Thanks for all your help.
