This is so true. But that engine won't willingly rev to 8K because of the limiter.

If the car seems to drive just fine like before then I'm guessing its fine.

The valves are in direct contact with the cams instead of push rods like in a Chevy V8, less moving parts, less to go wrong would be the simple answer.
