Does it help the engine to stretch out its legs once in awhile ?
There's this one on-ramp in town that goes up a slightly steep 30 degree grade. When the oil is nice and warm, I take the Buick 3800 up to its 6000 rpm yellow line. Being that the ramp goes up a grade, it puts a healthy load on the engine and keeps it from revving too quickly. The car reaches 70 mph at the exact moment in crosses the freeway entrance line. Am I doing the engine any good; or am I taking a chance on throwing a connecting rod thru the engine block ?
