does anybody for sure know how high i can take my b18c5 bottom end. i'm building the head for 10k and nobody really knows for sure how high the bottom will hold up too. im am thinking 9k. tell me what you thinkg.

 

I would atleast replace the rod bolts.

 

yeah, i am replacing the rods latter, but for now i want to know how high i can go.

 

No I was saying just replace the rod bolts not the rods.
Use some APR rod bolts, the factory bolts have a tendency to strech at high rpms.

 

Anything past 8500 and you start running into miniscule stuff like this:
