Then you could hear the lifters clacking in the video on the last run up to 4400.
Also heard "oh xxxx, what was that" in the backround as grey smoke was noticed in the exhaust.
I'm going to have to search for that. I was following his 4400RPM shift thread and never saw the video.

Edit: Found it.

Not much right now, the reason im being so hard on this motor is to see what breaks and see what i need to upgrade so i can run this rpm and nothing happen, so far it looks like valve train needs some work, but the bottom end seems solid, only things i have done is Put brandnew injectors a rebuilt ip ram air intake 3 inch exhuast turned the pump up put a high rpm spring in it and stick my righ foot into it

You need 7.3 style rockers for sure.

Sad thing, the 86 is a good block to rebuild.
If you drop a valve head or bust a rocker, the block will probably crack and just be so much scrap metal.
