had to pass someone ..dropped it into 3rd gear and the revvs went way up to 7k..i had to keep on the throttle bc a car was in the other lane and i hit 8k for about 1 second. motor has about 35k miles on it. Do you guys think my HG is toast?

The headgasket should be allright, lets just hope you didn't spin a muffler bearing.

HEadgaskets don't blow from RPM. IF they did, I would have blown a couple hundred by now in my B16.

 

If your motor isnt already in a million parts then, your motor should be fine.

 

does it idle ok?

that will give you an idea if you bent some valves

word

 

haha well my freind over revved his rex and blew his hg..so im just basing this off what happened to him. and it drove ok afterwords but i only drove it for like 5 mins ..my cars slow as **** i was in 5th and i knew if i dropped to 4th id go nowhere.

 

my d15b2 sees 7800rpms on a near daily basis.... But then again I am on my second head and head gasket. both y8 parts.

Moral of the story, if you hurt your engine at 8000rpm, you would know about it.

As for checking the bearings in the muffler, dont waste your time, they usually only go out when you break a power band

 

haha its ok i have high-performance muffler bearings made by mugen. 7800 on a daily basis thats awesome i wish i could do that

LoL.

I drive by a group of people at a bus stop every afternoon. I used to change gears as I went by and the blow off valve would make them jump! LoL.

12 psi of air coming out of my turbo xs RFL is enough to scare some bitches! Hahahaa.

7800 is kiddy stuff my old b16 setup idled at that. I used to shift at 9200. I had 2 friends accidentally peg the 10k limiter, now they don't ever get to drive it. Recall tachs are a wonderful thing for that reason. The motor held up though. Gotta love crower valve springs and retainers.

at least it musta sounded cool as hell at 10k rpm

 

Let's get back on topic here.

 

just an update..i drove it for awhile tonight and it seemed ok. I hope everything is ok tho The redline of this engine is just the one thing i always hear a different story on all the time. Its closest to a d16z6 right? so that redline is what 7500?

I wouldn't rev it over 7200.

 

yea ..i dont i shift at 7..thats kinda dissapointing tho..maybe i should get new valve springs and stuff so i can rev it a bit higher.
