Default How long can a 4.6 be sprayed

How often do you guys spray on a stock internals motor (except cams). When Is spray to much? When does reliablitlty and the life of a motor shorten? Would every weekend be bad?

i think its more the shot that your using rather than the how much you use it. for long life id be a bet'n man that the smaller the better.
