To baby it or no worries

Is there any harm to bouncing it off the rev limiter? I mean other than the wear that comes from that level of RPM?

No, the engineers designed it to run at those RPM’s and they test engines to failure so there is a built in fudge factor. The only issue I see is friction is cumulative, so the engine will wear faster. So maybe a rebuild at 180,000 instead of 200,000?

I like this answer the best.
