If you go much more then 50 those babbit bearings will take a beating from the weight of the old iron pistons and youll end up with a blown engine.

The 216s a splash oiler to. Not good for fast drivin. I never take mine above 50. And usually no higher then 45 and that sounds pretty wound up as is.
