Re: Valve Guide Oil Seal Replacement -- In Car

If you just let it drop you're going to have fun trying to pull it back up to put the keepers back on when you reassemble. Use compressed air or a rope. There's a reason for them to be stupid.

Re: Should my RPM be reaching the red zone changing gears?

Chances are your tach is reading high.

The red line is just a spot of paint anyway, doesn't have much to do with the limits of the engine.
