if that stuff wasnt upgraded you can float the valves and bend them on the pistons. makes car have a cool idle chop.....but its not cool, not cool at all. did it to my stock h22. missed a gear and hit 9k becuase the previous owner had the rev limiter removed. thats the worst thing i ever heard too. i wanted to punch him for that.
all the intake valves where bent when they floated and kissed the pistons. it was epic.

Again, the rev limiter will not save you when you do the mechanical over rev.
