Anybody want to disagree?
Your all wrong Super. . .it is ready for redline within seconds. And to see how many seconds it takes to get to that "tootsie roll center" called redline; start the motor and plant your foot in the gas pedal (and count).
Remember, as mechanical engineers will tell you, anything is possible with enough force and the proper lubrication

Besides, there *is* an oil pressure relief valve.
