Its not gonna hurt it. I used too jam a golf club between the seat and the throttle to find out where strange engine noises were coming from, my mechanical minded mate used 2 say it was fine. 5k's nothing for and engine anyway, but reving it at a stand still is gonna heat it up more than usual with the lack of air flowing it the radiator. As long as you fans are ok tho...
