ive been through this before. seals can blow easier, and running the engine hotter will cause the gas to some what evaporate before it has time to explode, decreasing power. the only other problems i can think of would be burning your oil which causes it to get chunky and not lubricate properly, short term in an emergency, you might make it 2-3 miles with no coolant. before your engine blows. safely, maybe a mile if you coast for a while and are on high way not city. increasing rpms increases heat
