When you're lugging your motor (i.e. flooring it in too high a gear on a
hill), how exactly are you damaging the motor (disregarding pre-ignition)?
Are the main bearings being damaged because not enough oil is circulating,
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,
are you causing a lot more wear than if you had an overdrive and were only
using 2500 rpm?
