WOT at 182K, effects Options

[6G96GT]

So I have a very solid block with 182K on it. The head was fully rebuilt several months ago. My car runs great, doesn't burn oil, and has great oil pressure. I was wondering...how much WOT driving can I get away with? Not the floor it from a dead stop either wot. I usually take off at an average pace and then WOT it from 2nd through 4th. Is this going to kill my motor quickly?

Heh,
Talked it over with a friend, I was completely mistaken. Red lines are there for a reason, the crank, bearings, wrist pins, etc. are only balanced up to 6200 or whatever your red line is. When you go over this, you have a much more likely chance of your engine becoming un-balanced and cause major wear to your internals.

I actually now know exactly why the rod bearings went out on my bike, I somehow got my rev-limit upped considerably and would run the engine extremely far into redline (roughly 2000rpms over) and then shift into the next gear. So lesson learned, don't ever run your engine past red line...
