I would ask for more information than this.
What have they had done to their cam/engine?
My "fairly stock but warmer than normal" engine with just a "fast
street" cam has not had problems after a significant amount of
thrashing (6000+ rev gear changes) and I have not heard of anything
similar being discussed amongst my track brethren in our MG Car Club.
Are we talking about really, really "hot" engines?
You may want to get more specific info on their setup (and is it the
same as yours).
