When you're lugging your motor (i=2Ee=2E flooring it in too high a gear on=20=
a=20
hill), how exactly are you damaging the motor (disregarding pre-ignition)?=20
Are the main bearings being damaged because not enough oil is circulating,=20
or are the cyclinder walls being scored for the same reason?

Another question: if you're running your motor on the freeway at 4500 rpm,=20
are you causing a lot more wear than if you had an overdrive and were only=20
using 2500 rpm?
