Two really bad things come to mind when doing such a thing in a 172: fuel exaustion due to the fuel being gravity fed into the engine and a lack of an inverted oil system. Do it too much and your engine will stop due to lack of gas. Continue to do it and it won't turn back on again because it dosen't have any oil.
