High Engine RPM Weakest Link
Got a question for you engine builders out there. What is the weakest link when building a high rpm big block...let's say 7000rpm range. My initial thought was the stroke, but I was told by another person that it was bore diameter because the larger the bore diameter the lower the natural frequency. I really don't want to go through all the calculations of shear stress and strain or for determining natural frequencies so I thought someone has to have lived it or have some working knowledge of this subject.
