After you get hondata and rev to 8800 rpms I have heard of valves bending. But I personally have not heard of valves bending when reving to 8300. But just beacause I havent heard it doesn't mean its not true. But it would be warrantied. So not that big of a deal.

uhh, I'm revving almost 1k over the stock redline for about 10k+ miles. Car gets flogged daily and has been down the dragstrip probably 60 times or so. 0 problems with motor, not a drop of oil burned. I don't want to jinx myself but its been great so far and I don't forsee any problems.
I've never heard anything like what you mentioned.

Stock valvetrain is good. Correct me if i'm wrong but I believe the exhaust side has Type R springs, and intake is half Type R and half S2000.

Most of these bent valves you'll notice come from people misshifting the vehicle..You'll see the same posts are often made about the GTS Celica..Don't misshift, thats all
