Yes it does. We have a term for it at my work. Engineers lay it out on paper in an imaginary world. And we prove them wrong with the real world.
Engineers are not always correct, but to write something off as nonsense beacuse it was stated by an engineer doesn't make sense. Just like your claim that if a CTD blows a head gasket it is because it is either a bombed engine or a fluke but when a DMax blow one, it is because of its aluminum heads. Do you mean to tell me that when a 1200 HP DMax blows a head gasket during a drag race, the aluminum heads are to blame?

It must suck to have spent all that money on a degree and be proved wrong by a dumb hillbilly.
My degree is not in engineering and I am the first person to admit that I am not an engineer. But your arguments aginst the DMax - and for the CTD just don't hold water. Even in the link you provided it states that the heads weren't torqued correctly from the factory. I don't care what the heads are made out of, if they aren't torqued correctly bad things can happen.
Head gaskets have been blown and heads cracked long before anyone decided to put aluminum heads on a cast iron block so there must be at least one other reason for blown head gaskets and cracked heads.
