Don't forget to include the morons who start them with ether.

How do _you_ start a stone cold Diesel at -20F?

RE: engine stress
Detroit Diesels used to have a miniature oil burner that installed in place of one of the handhole covers on a 71 series engine. It lit a small fire in the air box.
I have had to start "Stone cold diesels" at -20 without ether.
Some start quite well with the glow plugs. Some don't.
Some require glow plug heating times several times longer than recommended. Sometimes a lot of batteries and jumpers are involved. Some engines required the intake manifold to be heated with a propane torch prior to cranking.
Well charged batteries in good condition are a must.

You could do the finite element and then follow it up with testing, or you could use the old "rules of thumb" and then test it.
You can also optimize the design and then have the foundry tell you they can't cast it.
