this may seem like a stupid question, but is it bad red lining on first for less than 1 second? cause when racing or accelerating very fasti sometimes screw up and this happens, like 6,500-6,600 rpm, it has happened a lot lately, i gotta get it right but sometimes i just f**k up. </P>

 

It's not guarenteed death, but I wouldn't do it anymore....

I've done it twice, but not as high as you..

 

I've hit the rev limiter quite a few times. I'd just always check and make sure u have clean good oil in (synthetic) and always check your temp gauge. I'm not saying by doing the things I've listed will guarentee safe driving wiht hitting red line , but will help.

 

It's best to avoid it, especially on a stock motor, but you won't wind up shooting a rodd through the block doing it.

 

</P>


this is the 4.6 forum....no pushrods...teehee.</P>

 

i think he probably meant connecting rod<FONT color=black>.....correct me if im wrong</FONT>

 

are you talking about the rev limiter or red line?

 

We got a winner!

 

beware if you are under warranty and it blows apart when the hook up a scan tool it will show at what rpm it happened at good ole ford no how.

 

Wouldn't disconnecting the battery solve this?
