Heavy acceleration yes, floor it not so much because you will still have temp differences that can cause failure. Bearing surfaces are ok however.

Actually thinking about it, this strikes me as they same scenerio of an Alaskan aircraft engine and AFAIK, they make TBO.

Unknown. Could be a emissions strategy.
