Is it Bad to Redline your Engine? Can it be Good?

In this video I give examples and explain when it's likely safe to redline the engine and when you should avoid it. I also demonstrate how to know when your engine is up to operating temperature, I talk about the Italian tune up and what affect modifying your engine may have on how safe it is to use all the available revs.
