The rev limiter is always set at 8k. Its most likely that you forgot to thight something or something was too worn and at high revs the engine seized.

Did you press throttle when starting? That can make rev needle go full circle and blow the engine in some cases.

it goes like this:

hits the 9k rpm and dies

according to msc editor, everything is fine

now I'm going to rebuild the engine to see if that helps

Valve timing?

Depending on how you adjust your valves, you can make it go well past the red zone you see in your RPM gauge & vice versa, you can set up valves to not go above 6k RPM, but have alot more low end torque.

[Dr. Death]

are you using the race flywheel and the race carbs at the same time?

and no that's not 9k RPM. It LOOKS like 9k. but if you use the gas pedal lightly you will find out it wont go over 8k.

It could also be the parts wear or the lack of oil.

The rev limit is not set to the valves but by the distributor. What you do with the valves is tune them to reduce power. That being said, i have no idea if that actually improves low end torque.

even if on loosest exhaust valve setup it shouldn't go like this imo, i can floor it on my save and anything that happens is overheat

racing fly, twin carbs

no wear, fluids full

It does, i've tested it on a mod that represents a Dyno & the Drag strip.

And yes, you can actually set up valves to go past the rpms you see, but no recommended since your engine will probably blow up, there is a video on youtube how Mercedes does this stuff with Modern cars, way more complex than any older car / or in MSC, but you get the idea :)

at about 2/3 of the acc range it bounces off 8k rpm, but

when floored it goes further past

also, there's another old video of mine with a funny engine, go to 2:40
