Have you ever heard of B18B1's blowing up?

Have you ever heard of B18B1's blowing up, with a basic NA setup I/H/E? Assuming it was within redline of 6900 rpm, oil level/quality (with 3k) was where it should be, and if nothing foreign got sucked in?

You wouldn't be lean with just bolt ons. The only time I have heard of bolt on motors blowing is when contaminants get in the motor/oil and spin bearings...or when people get a sweet ECU chip and try to rev the thing to 8 grand.
