I've heard rumours from multiple sources now that some of the clubman/sport1300 guys used to run them well past 10000rpm, though with short engine lifetimes!
Not very many people got them to run above about 9,000rpm with any success.
Mine ran to about 8600rpm and lasted about a season before needing a rebuild. That was about three hours running!
Rebuilds cost about $2000 - $3000, and the engine made about 140hp odd.
