I recently over-revved my motor (stupid money shift) during a race and am concerned about its health. Redline is 7000rpm, I'm estimating it got to ~9000rpm. This is a "stock" engine that has been re-built probably about 1000-1500 miles ago... All track miles except for ~200miles.
I changed the oil, and there was metal in it but no big chunks, just small bits smaller than a grain of sand. Also pulled apart the filter, and there was a little bit in there as well.
I decided to run it once more, and re-assess after that. Filled it with Rotella T and a new Napa Gold (Wix) filter. On Saturday, my friend and I put ~200 hard road course miles on it, and ~200 street miles (had to drive the race car home, cause friends car broke so it got my trailer). Burned no oil and the oil looks as clean as it did when it went in, plus the little metal bits.
This isn't my filter, but mine doesn't look this bad:
I'll try to get pictures of my filter and oil.
