Best Answer

Please be more specific regarding the "problems".

If the engine knocks at red line, you probably have a worn bearing or piston slap.

If the engine won't REACH red line, you may not have sufficient fuel/air mixture reaching the cylinders to allow the engine to run that fast.

Understand that "red line" is a MAXIMUM RECOMMENDED RPM of a specific engine. The engineers have calculated the mass and strength of internal parts and determined that the engine should not be allowed to operate at RPM's ABOVE the red line on the tach.

It doesn't necessarily mean that the engine should be operated at that speed.

Can high revving cause damage to engine I was driving my car really fast and on 160kmh I did not hear my engine is in red line I felt like car started to brake on there on then I saw I passed red.?

aaah yes of course high revving will cause damage to the engine.. that's what the red-line is for. once you get to the red line the engine will automatically reduce the fuel input to protect the engine, probably will just be a smooth interruption of power.. unless its electronically limited, which i don;t know how that works
