How about a video of the engine doing 9,000 RPM?

Post a video of it running so that we can hear it running. It must sound awesome at those high revs.

They did not video it at 9000 even though I asked for it. Will have to do an in car after it is installed. They made so many pulls below 8000 that it is half worn out already.

See you at the Good Guys in Scottsdale, I hope.

Interesting. How long do you expect this engine to last before it needs to get rebuilt?

2- 3 years unless something breaks. I have the best valve springs I could get and the crank and rods are also the best available so given that it should be as reliable as the old engine. Everything was perfect on the old engine and it was 3 years old. Valve springs had the same pressure as they did when installed and
the new ones are a higher grade of steel. Bearings could have been reused too. We change fluids regularly and spin the dry sump pump when ever the car sits too long.
