This is your answer. It is also commonly argued that getting the engine in the higher rev range once warmed up from time to time is good for it. Ims failures seem to be most common in cars that sit and rarely go above 3k rpm. Those that drive the cars (somewhat) hard seem to have far fewer failures.
