I’m in doubt. De rockers are designed to be the weakest point in the engine. And I’d rather break some rockers than conrods for instance.

I drive my engine like a maniac, but with the limiter on 6900. That’s enough. Be happy that you’ve had weak rockers, otherwise something else would have broken.

A I've read online, the only thing which is a weak point in M10 (revving over 8K) are the rocker arms and clutch.
