Well i know its stupid and im sure as hell never doing it again but, now my car makes this loud clicking sound coming from the engine. the higher the rpms the faster the clikcing. v6 5 speed here btw. I was around redline the whole time for like 10 seconds i guess it would be so what could be f'd ? Im scared Lexus ES300

Get some money & get a diagnosis from an experienced CEGer or trusted mechanic - with a price quote for the repairs. Gather up the funds for the repair & offer to pay for it yourself. Dad will be impressed & may leave a few spots un-bruised. Must be that jumbly-wumbly thing happening again.
