Wouldn't bet on the Opti. When my A4 went out I was pushing the motor to redline everyday. Didn't have any problems.

Do a compression test. A bent valve will show up.
About the only thing a severe overrev wil do to the clutch is explode it, but not to worry. You engine would go first.
I'd let you drive my car...it's an A4.

i cant believe a bent valve can cause the whole car to run like crap.
I would notice a toasted clutch right? As of now it shifts and grabs pefect with no noises.
I planned on doing heads/cam over the winter, so this is just a kick in the *** forcing me to do it i suppose.
are you making fun of my question or is that a serious question?

The bent valve theory would be your best shot. Do a compression test,that will tell ya.
