Again, you are not going to cause any damage at a coupe of hundred over since redline is a design spec not an absolute.


Got an example of someone over-revving a motor through missed gear selection for a second while not under load (accelerating) and causing valve float interference or piston/rod force related failure or friction/heat bearing/piston ring failure?
