Good luck with your new engine(s)You want to redline at least once a day. Clears out the carbon build-up.
If you want to go the extra mile and really make the engine last you need to redline through all gears at least twice a week.

Not the mazda fairy! The ROTARY fairy!
My favorite part of the warm up process is the prize at the end. 9kRPMs is a blast.
