I've heard something like this for 10 years on aircraft forums from people with no knowledge of automotive engines or modern engineering and validation procedures. If that's your uninformed opinion, watch this whole video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8tEqwXrqzH4

This sums things up pretty well.

Anyone here think a Lycoming would survive these tests? Remember this engine puts out over 100hp/Liter specific output, that's the same as a 600hp Lycoming O-360.
