Does anyone have insight into how the O-200's in Formula One are prepared? I'm curious about how they prevent the engines from grenading at the high RPM they run? I know they balance all of the components and assemble the engines with tight tolerances, but <for instance> how do they prevent valve float at 4,000 RPM?

Obviously, nobody is gonna give away all of the secrets, but someone here must be able to share something...
