PMSL proper funny, i laughed whilst drinking coffee, now all over screen..

never heard of or seen thrown rod in the scimitars but they came from the factory with bluebird ecus with the limiters. before i bought my current car, the guy had SE build the engine with std rods but JE pistons and he revved to 7,5k on track all the time, upping the aftremarket limiter to 8,5k on certain tracks it ran like that for 4 years but the engine gave up on me 6 months into my first season with the car. i revved it to 7.5k which in hindsight was too much for the valve train not the rods.
ive seen a few scim engines go bang through valve retainers breaking the end off the valve and dropping the valve, grenading the engine (thats what killed my original and teh Graham Walker scim race car engine too (with titanium retainers. i use DET Pauters and modfied DET wisecos pistons in current engine and set limiter to 7,2k to save valve train
