Well if I was in your shoes first thing I would have done is Bitch slap your best friend.As a one off I would say your engine is ok.But getting into the habit of revving up stone cold engines ( like some oldies do )..Not good for long term wear

i did... went nutz yeh..

cant believe it seemed to be running ok afterwards just parnoid

The main issues are lubrication and running temps.

It's not the best thing to do, but your engine will be okay for this small lapse of stupidity.

If you were the kind of person who revs up every time you start the car you will end up with issues in the long run.

Punch a hole in your mate's chest if he pulls that stunt again.

Nah man, don't panic.

Like I said, long term abuse will lead to issues.

Relax dude and enjoy. Your little girl's sweet. >_<

    • More photos are up, and the price has been dropped to $16,000. It's just had a service and a new 12V battery, too.
    • I agree on doing some better than factory pistons, rods, and oil pump. For anyone using the vehicle on the road, I don't get why everyone wants big cams. The stock cam profile, with some more lift would be mint for road usage. Everyone going big cams and then wondering why it isn't as responsive in traffic, when they've shifted the torque curve upwards an additional 1000RPM. Make torque, at lower RPM. Sure it's not as cool as claiming "500KW" and revving it to 8,0000RPM, but that same torque 2,000RPM earlier... Then you don't need the extremely high end pistons and rods, and blah blah blah.
    • Personal experience. Those f**kers burn. And are actually a PITA to put out. Next time I walk down the back, I'll snap a photo of what the inside of the bonnet looks like when that thing ignites. PS, powder fire extinguishers are useless on that stuff too as it's fibrous and when it ignites, it starts to pull apart. And you end up just blowing powder through a sieve effectively.   Like the big thing is, if it's fire resistant, it's job is to stop what burning? The METAL above it? It's just to try keep heat off the bonnet paint work.
    • Oh man, sorry, $60.00000000... 😛
    • That's more or less what he meant. What it really means is that you do not have to go full crazy on the build. Don't need the best oil pump, expensive rods & pistons, big cams, etc. You can upgrade whatever you want instead of using stock level items, but you don't have to. Having said that - any time an RB is opened up, if anything is getting replaced, I think the opportunity should be taken to do all the sensible upgrades. Pistons, rods, pump, etc.
