[FWDLK] lugging an engine

[David Gedraitis <someguy361@xxxxxxxxx>]

While I'm aware that lugging an engine is bad and puts
it under a load, I'm asking why this is bad? What does
this do that ctually hurts the engine? Does it
overheat? Wear out the clutch faster? I laboring for
an engine isn't good, but I also know it does happen
(think steep hills at high speed), so does anyone know
anything more definite? I don't see why low vacuum
would hurt, and while I know power isn't optimum,
that's not technically harmful, either....
