[Spridgets] redline?

[crusaderchuck55 at aol.com]

The "red line" is relative for a stock motor.The things that make a difrence are using better connecting rod bolts and a well balanced bottom end.   Then you can get into better connecting rods , forged pistons and money.  Simply boring out the motor , adding a healthy cam shaft and a good flowing cylinder head does not improve the durability of the bottom end.   In my estimation the best investment is balancing .

   I have a modified 948 engine in my bugeye. Its been bored to 998, ported polished, balanced and with a mid range camshaft and lightened flywheel. It runs beautifully at 4500 RPMs on the highway but that redline is easy to get close to when enjoying the late summer nights. Is the original redline accurate for the modified engine and how do you know what makes redline? I don't want to risk damaging the engine but I also don't want to baby it.
