While i do agree,i also believe a whole lot of times the main isue with maincaps tapdancing in the block comes from detonation and not neccesarily from just to much power,same with most smallblocks that end up pushing a headgasket,sure the 4headbolts per cylinder may not be genius when making big power but the limit for how much compression you can run before pushing a headgasket gets much lower if you also have a problem with detonation,and detonation that starts creating isues is present long before we hear it and it gets catastrophic as in destroyed pistons.
