However, NASCAR engines run rotating components, heavier oil weights, less spring pressure and smaller cams. Jeff Lee, Chris Hill and GMonda covered many of the issues. Engines with aluminum rods are more suceptible to damage than steel rod engines.

My recommendation is to click the engine "off" and not "Engine Brake"; you are not driving a Diesel truck.
