Hitting redline -_-

The only time you have to worry about redline is if you down shift at to high an RPM.
One of my son's friends blew up a Honda doing that, and couldn't understand why. "That's what the rev limiter is for, right?"
Dead serious.

I actually damaged my last engine like this ..I was high in the rpm range and was coming out of gear and I must have slightly hovered over a lower gear and the rev sync shot rpm up to red line and ....I say I damaged the motor ..I had a weird tapping noise that was very noticeable above 2500 rpm ...it still drove fine and pulled hard ....but after replacing the motor there isn’t any more tapping ...I think may have damaged something in the valve train ....if you don’t notice anything or have any new sounds you are prolly ok
