The SR doesn't have a large stroke, and the rod isn't super short, so, the angle isn't so severe, that it causes tons of sidewall loading. With a good set of rings, and some lateral gas porting, 8500rpm is safe for any SR bottom end, but, I would never spin one up that high unless I had a VE head to take advantage of it.

Right....I met a guy last week though, who said that he was building a VE head SR that he was gonna rev to 10,000 RPM.
I was like "is that safe" and he is like that is fine.....
Ugh I never know what to think....
