No, that's not over-reving. You can only over-rev by missing a shift and shifting to the lower gear instead of the higher gear that you'd choose while accelerating. For example, say you are in second at redline and you accidentally shift to first instead of third. That would cause over-rev. The rev limiter will stop the engine from over-reving under acceleration. I do this all the time while auto-xing. It does not hurt the engine.

 

That's what I thought too. But with only 7x,xxx km and stock internals running NA, why would it blow up like that?

 

too hot in the combustion chamber

 

FKUC!!!!!

 

For those of us who don't know you or your car, can you post a list of mods and your typical use of the car (i.e. daily driver, autox, track, drag, etc.)?

Thanks,

seems like a valve retaining keeper failed and dropped a valve into cyl #2 where it got crushed up.

 

oops sorry double post

 

So sorry to hear what's happened. I'm sure you'll get to the bottom of it soon enough.

BTW, were you running the cooling mods?

 

The carnage is almost to much! Hide the women and children!

 

Yes, more details on how and why please.
