My engine won't go above 5500 though.
Why? Just because I can. Also, I can never stop thinking of why something works (or not) and always trying to improve, either by lowering weight, making it stronger or lasting longer. It's just how I've always been.

That's a common trait amount Hot Rodders!
With a flathead it's hard to come up with something that hasn't already been tried many times, just the way it is with these engines. There have been some wild and crazy things tried!
