I don't know if it's really bad for the car but I was parked after a hour cruise and my buddy drove past in his stang and gave me a little rev and I did a big one that went a quarter past the red line.

Did my engine take any damage?

I'm new to Camaros so IDK if its gonna be a big problem or not...

-Peace

 

It probably didnt help it any, but if it didnt throw a rod out the side of the block i wouldnt worry about it...

 

Ok, I wasn't sure if I was gonna wake up tomorrow with my block cracked...

I'm more worried about these little punks slashing my tires... I gave them the finger after they told me to burn out... wtf I was with my dad...

 

You're dad might have enjoyed the little smoke show. Would have been cheaper too since your tires may get slashed now

 

if you dont see smoke coming out the exhaust, a rather large dent/hole in the oil pan, or your motor start running weird, you should be ok.. i would recommend you not do that again..

if it was me with my dad, i woulda put up new clouds in the sky.. and surprisingly, my dad probably woulda laughed.. i never just mash it down and rev.. i just give it some part throttle blips..

 

and i dont think flippin the bird will help you out much punks..

 

Factory tac's are not very accurate at higher rpms. Just because it showed it a 1/4 past the red line does not mean it really rev'ed that high.

 

You can over rev a SBC engine with no harm as long as you don't run it for long periods over the redline. So No Harm No foul.

 

As long as you don't hit the limitation of the valve train I doubt you did any damage. Even then, I've accidentally revved to the point of valve float on a couple occasions and still never lost an engine to it.

 

Ok...Thanks

Normally I give people little barks too, but I said screw it and just Unleashed it...

 

why would you give someone the finger for that Its not like an insult, I take those comments as a compliment

 

I doubt it did anything... My stock trans had a carbonized 2-4 band and bad 3-4 clutchpack and the engine would rev to 6.5-7k on the 1-2 shift. Still in one piece with lots of miles on it, for now...
