I have a mini me and it pings already. The raised compression plus boost on one of these setups probably wouldn't last too long. Id say go with the y8 or z6 complete motor.

Im not really getting what your saying, but y8 or z6 neither really are known for spinning bearings(rod bearings if thats what you mean). They are both decently high reving engines, so you need to keep it well lubed, which is the #1 cause of rod bearing spinning, lack of oil mixed with some high reving. All motors are that way.
