greaser@work is an unknown quantity at this point
it does, however; how many times have you seen a bent or broken rod from an over-rev? or even just WEARING the motor out with excessive side load(which is what a long stroke motor does) this means excessive blowby and low compression across all 4. no mechanical failure.

i've only seen one case. the rest were failures for various reasons. I actually WORE out my last SR after 3 years of drag racing at various power levels.

my current SR i'm trying to make it last a season at 400rwhp exactly. no more, no less.
