I spun a gen 3.5 (ls6 with gen 4 rods and pistons to over 7000rpm regularly for 70k+ miles. It would see 7500rpm in between shifts. Rev limiter was set at 7200

It sucks. Even though I felt like I had to navigate a mine field with my CM thread, I said I'd test components, and send Tony springs to check. I followed thru, and did what I said I'd do. Guys like the OP, unless he somehow had a life altering event of some sort, have no excuses. It hurts our forums. Guys spend time, effort, and sometimes their own $$, and end up responding to a damn ghost.....

You totally handled that RIGHT! And I'm glad for the final resolution.
You know how it all stands now, which is a major relief in itself. Then you know what's gotta happen next.
