Every GY6 is capable of safely running these speeds with a stock 27/24 head from the factory.
Not having a tach, I honestly don't know what RPM I was at. However, 2 valve failures at high RPM was enough for me.


My engine was not stock. And Pripy is asking about upgrading his engine. So not stock again. Maybe the A11 has a higher valve lift that may lead to valve float VS. stock? Or maybe the springs are weakened due to the added lift? I'm not sure.

I do know I have beat on this latest engine combination harder than anything before it with 0 issue.

Please don't take this as aggression. Just sharing my experience
