Overreved
Like the title says i overreved 3 times in the last year. Mostly due to the notchy shifter and the fact that i can't shift fast so it happens sometimes i use force to put it in gear.
The car seems fine for now (drank some oil but otherwise seems ok). Was thinking about a compression test.
What other things should i look for or check, because i surely don't want a spun rod bearing or worse, a rod outside of the block.
It is a evo 9 with around 22t miles on the clock (mods: exhaust, remap, fuel pump - stage 1 mods).
Thanks for the info guys

Unless you are absolutely trying to blow your motor, the rev limiter will tell you when you are pushing it. Most likely if you had damaged a bearing, you would have known it by now.

I think you should provide the fact that you overreved your car by shifting to 2nd instead of 4th while being in high rpm in 3rd gear to give the people a better idea of what youre issue seems to be.
Revlimiter doesn't stop that.
You can also add you were racing me and being nervous but that's against EvoM policy =)

As said i overreved by shifting in the wrong gear (from 3rd to 2nd but should have shifted to 4th gear).
Oil consumption is fine atm but hope i didn't bent some valves or stretch the rod bolts or sth.
Thnx for the info
