At what rpm does a stock bottom end start to come apart? The only weak thing that I've heard about in stock bottom end ls engines is the rod bolts. At what point will they break?

7200+ rpm ive herd is about all the stock bottom end will hold.
but there are many things that can change that. imo there is no reason to spin it that high on stock intake

Yea I was just wondering where the point was with a good stock engine where it starts too self destruct. I don't think I would wanna go higher than say 6700 or so

There are a lot of people pushing it up there pretty far, any one out there have any feed back on where theirs has actually failed because of over revving?
