Hi guys, about two days ago, I was having some fun with my friend, and I did one of the dumbest things because I wasn't paying attention to my shifting.
I was at about 5800 rpm, and 70-75mph, and I shifted from 3rd to 2nd making my rpms spike to 7100-7200 rpm visibly, not sure if it was worse...
My redline rev limiter maxes out at 6000, and in 2nd gear I can go about 55-58 mph max.. I have a 2002 Camry LE 5 Speed 2.4 2AZFE, I had 170k miles on the motor, but it was burning oil which I didn't realize when I first bought it, I actually had an oil leak which was fixed, and didn't check my oil often enough, thought I'd just change it at 3k miles. Anyway, that motor was damaged and blew up, I got a replacement with 108k miles and there are many new parts on my engine overall. After the over-rev, my car seems to run fine through all gears and at redline, I opened up my hood after the incident and didn't see anything irregular. Should I be worried, or do you think it just added wear and tear a lot quicker in general, but nothing major? Here's a link to my camera setup video that captured the mistake...

I think you just put some extra wear on the engine. You would know if something went bad while you were spiking it, loud bang, engine quits, throws a road, etc.

 

Thanks man, that makes me feel a bit better, I don't seem to be having any problems. I didn't drive for a few days though, and when I started driving again, my car motor seemed louder, eh maybe it's just me...

 

Everything seems louder when your listening for it. There not much you can do anyway.

When checking and changing the oil look for any signs of metal particles, might also cut the filter apart to check this.

Perhaps you took some spring out of the valve springs which might effect high RPM performance.
