redlining the Z...now an oil leak? What kind of Damages?

since my OD has been out and my tranny hasnt been grabbing gears nice either.

when I gun it it willl not grab and slam the rpms way up there...


I watch it now...but when I drive or try to pull into traffic fast...I forget.

I know its not good but I dont know what kind of damages Im dealing with.

what could break or wear...

Im lookin to get the block rebuilt...anyone know aprox how much it may cost for a rebuild? (little off subject)

A rebuild kit will run around $300-500 depending on what type you get. Then you have to add in gaskets and little things like that.

what kinda color scheme do you have going with that z, dustinimports? it looks interesting. in the pic you kinda resemble vanilla ice, but maybe thats just me that glowstickin thing is rad, where did you find it? to be on topic, no i dont think spinning it to the moon will cause an oil leak, maybe if you blew the main seal, but i dont know if high revving will cause that im not mechanically inclined at all.
