RE: Reving your engine
Im not sure how it can be bad? Its movin your intrnals of the engine just like when driving and thats totally fine....so i not really sure how it could be bad unless you redline it or more, but this is just my thoughts.

RE: Reving your engine
Not that I reccommend it, but I rev mine all the way to 7200 rpms with no problems, but the smoke is ridiculous. Like I said, I don't recommend doing that, but I have a tuner so you're rev limited.

RE: Reving your engine
it is bad. especially with a pushrod engine, revving it high without any load on the engine can do harm to your valvetrain, maybe like a valve will get stuck or something. probably nothing to worry about, but don't sit there and rev it to redline for a long time. its different from driving because in neutral the engine isnt pushing against anything.
