The inertial forces on the engine internals cause the engine to tear itself apart. The piston has to reverse itself twice every revolution, which puts immense strain on the rod and its attachments. The valves are also returned into place with springs, and at a certain point the springs can't close the valves fast enough, and they "float" and may contact the piston

basically, your engine tears itself apart from the inside....

Do all over-revs record in ECU including downshift over-revs What is shown on an over-reved engine?

Yes, most modern Engine Control Units (ECUs) record over-rev events, including those caused by downshifts. An over-rev occurs when the engine operates beyond its maximum RPM limit, which can lead to potential damage. In the event of an over-rev, the ECU may log the maximum RPM reached, the duration of the over-rev, and the specific conditions under which it occurred, such as throttle position and gear selection. This data can be analyzed for diagnostics and performance tuning.

Does a 2001 Honda Civic have a rev limiter?

Yes, a 2001 Honda Civic is equipped with a rev limiter. This feature is designed to prevent the engine from exceeding a certain RPM, which helps protect the engine from damage due to over-revving. The rev limiter engages when the engine reaches its maximum safe RPM, ensuring optimal performance and longevity.
