Must be a really crap design if you can't 'redline' it. Surely you
should have learnt by this and gone for a better make?

He was on his way to a fire, overevved it and the pistons hit the valves

That doesn't happen by 'redlining' any engine. It's the sort of thing that
happens if you select a silly low gear at speed and *vastly* overspeed the
engine.
