when an eng works.....it just works. no one knows beyond the the basics of the internal combustion processes or oil process.
Throw new rings and bearing in it and run it......................It just works.

When it continues to brake the same parts is when most start to figure it out.(or quit racing) they start paying attention to smarter people on the subject or just have a shop build one that has proven that there's, will with stand the higher rpm or what ever........
Those that fallowed the original Street Outlaws, remember when Big Chief was swapping out main bearing every 2-3 runs and pulling the pan after every run......................He found someone that had been dealing with this problem time and time again on them Pontiac, that when revved, broke parts.
Took the block to him, had what ever done to it.............No more bearing failures!!!!!

I will never have the time or cubic dollars to ever build the top end(head/valve train) to make power or test the bottom end that was built to turn 8000 rpm.
But i like looking in deeper into the real in and outs of how an eng works. and what can be done to make it better.
And threads like these are far and few between.

When i built my block i was convince it would hold 8000 rpm all day long..........this thread and a couple other one.........well lets just day i don't have a warm and fussy feeling.
