Harvey is no magician, seen plenty of mistakes from SCS, just pf's don't have the bollocks to talk about it/them!!
If you are interested in revs perhaps the yb is not the engine for you, the rod angle is not good for a high revver, I limit mine to 7300rpm.
Best thing you can do money wise whilst the engine is apart is a lightened flywheel, so often overlooked, has many many benefits, the std 2wd one is 8.9KG, mine is now 5.8, I wouldn't advise for a road car going much lighter, but the difference per £ spent is amazing.
