    DO NOT under any circumstances over rev these engines, original engines do not have forged internals. Standard con rods and bolts are weak and not up to over revving.

    Can someone actually clarify what exactly would constitute an over rev? Trackday with 3hrs sat on the redline? Accidental blip/misshift? Hitting the limiter in any way ever just once?
