yeah thats why you have to have the whole engine pretty much balanced and blueprinted, like the big boys of pullin i think they leave the line at like 6k and they got full billet blocks and kind of good stuff in like a $100K engine

You don’t have to have them… That being said better safe than sorry. I was more worried about a runaway than floating a valve. Then again if you break it you can build one to make and take 6K
