Message Or does that just wear them out more quickly? Or promote spinning?....

On second thought though, 'over-revving' isn't over-revving on an engine with a sufficiently upgraded valvetrain, but the bearing still undergo the same harsh load at say, 8000+rpm. What do the people do that are going for 9,000rpm redline, like Devin (Z from Japan) I think is? Anyways this is still assuming that over-revving kills/wears out bearings... Anyone?
