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?

its in the owners manual
 of course you dont wanna stress the internals. imagine running WOT with your lubricants cold, your engine and gear oil dont reach the operating viscosity thus making the internals work a lil harder. -------------------- God made man....

Alright then, that's what I'll do from now on. Thanks! |
