Search is your friend!

An interesting discussion is going on in this thread, some details can be found.

Here....

or

More interesting here....

Consider that the 09/10 Factory JCW MINIs have stronger internals for that specific Model.

The MCS R56 has a good engine, but is a little weak on the topside.

I know the 6500 redline is there due to the weak valve springs. MINI did that to improve fuel economy.
