i.c. did your engine sound funny before it blew? You wrecked it downshifting correct? Mine has a funny sound that sounds like a light knock at like 5500 but its silent at lower rpms even floored...

i go to about 6000, maybe redline a few times a day on a tired ass motor lol
in first gear its hard to tell if your shifting at 6000 or 6300, heheheh...
but i hit 6000 many times a day!
Yeah here's a link to help you out.

Well yea but i can usually feel/hear it at idle if it needs a valve adjustment... i did it less than 7k miles ago but maybe i should do it againValve adjustment....

it knocks when you hit the gas or when you shut it off but other than that it's quiet

I've heard from a fellow member on here (Steve) that he switched oil filters and it got rid of that the annoying ticking sound that most hondas have. He switched to a purolator gold from autozone. I've adjusted my valves twice in the past year and I just got my 94 prelude and it does it to so it must be a honda thing, but Steve said he can't hear the ticking anymore.

I'm a pretty balanced driver, I take off about average speed and maybe once or twice a drive will lay into it, but not necessarily redline it. My SHO was redlined daily, it was just too much fun not too, the redline was 7k and I routinely bounced it off the rev limiter at 7300. The 3gee got redlined a fair amount when I had it, I just didn't think it was as much fun in a straight line as it was in a corner though so it saw more tire squealing action then anything.
Military style fears God not a stranger.
ummm i never hit the red, only at 6200 around and drop to next gear. i'm kinda afraid to hit that red...and with gas prices now a days, i don't even hit 3g's
3geez for life.
i push mine pretty hard on friday nites but i baby my car most of the time
pushed it past redline a few times when my clutch was going out and i missed a gear when racing lol.
even when i push it i usually shift at 5500. after that the power loss just doens't make it worth it unless you're racing. 5500 once every few weeks, redline once every month maybe.
