The rev counter doesn't give a 100% true reading up that high anyway. Mine has been raised to 7200 and I never hit the limiter, I don't have the balls lol

it's really not a good idea to be revving the engine freely that high anyway, it needs load on it to be safely revved like that!

My limiter is at 7400rpm, and I frequently reach it  :evil:

Brap - Brap - Brap off the limiter :D

Bearings need load to work properly, without load it's risky as fook revving it that high  :whistle:

As prawny says, not good without load as anyone who dwelves into quantum mechanics will elaborate. The momentum of the internals are different when loaded and not loaded, in spite of the fact that in both examples the piston, rods and crank take the same path.

The limiter is no means a complete safe guard.

10k on stock head would mean bangs and rattles.
