You can drive it as hard as you want............you won't crack the head by doing so.
The problem comes when somebody loses a water pump, or develops a severe coolant leak. This engine will go from normal temperatures to well over 120C. in a matter of one minute under such conditions. Very few drivers will be on the gauges to detect this condition before damaging the engine.
