Engines are designed to work in this manner although you will shorten the life of the components inside the engine by abuse. If you intend to race or hammer the engine more than normal make sure you maintain it by using good quality oil and changing it frequently. Also maintain the coolant and fuel system and transmission. By doing this you can extend the life of the car.
