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?
