Thank you guys for the responded. Well, when I tried to shift to second gear that's when it stuck. At that moment the car was not under load, another word it was in between gears. The shop owner gave me some lecture about overrev theory and he said he is going to eat all the cost but my warranty is now void. I said to myself what the hell because I am totally broke and can not get over the idea of spending another $800-900. Besides, I'm going to spend all day arguing him about my theory. The guy fixed it in one day and he showed me the keepers, lifters and the cam which by now is nothing but a whole bunch of scrapped metal.
Now, if I installed the rev limiter and let say it happens again (when the engine is not underload) will it protect the engine or it's working only when it underload just like stock limiter? What setting should I set the limiter to, anyway ?
I have changed the cable now, checked throttle body and everything else that has to do with the acceretion and hopefully nothing like that would ever happened again.
