That's not very good advice, Greg.... Overspeeding is always a concern. Connecting rods and connecting rod fasteners have a finite strength. As the piston, rod assembly passes over TDC, they change direction of travel rather abruptly. The centrifugal force is immense... you might get away with it once... you might get away with it twice.... but overstress is still overstress and it will catch up with you eventually....
Ever thought of fleshing out your qualifications????

My eyes bugged out as I read that too. That's a lot of rotating mass to spin at 8000 RPM. I've probably got over $3000 just in high end crank, rod's pistons etc. (not to mention the balancing and assembly and all the machine work that it takes to put one together right) in my boat motor (540 cid) but I'd never think of spinning it up to 8000 RPM and it's less than 10:1 compression and I'm sure much less weight. 6000 RPM maybe but not for long and its build to turn about 5200-5400 peak. I'd like it to last just as I would my "diesel" truck motor. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
