I don't think there is so much damage as people think there is when engine braking. Prime example is semi trucks use a jake brake to basically block of the exhaust to increase pressure in the engine and to slow down the truck faster. The same trucks typically go over a million miles... granted that is highway miles, but with a large load a large percent of the time.
