So the diesel is liquid cooled?

It's liquid cooled, so no discussion about shock cooling anymore.
It's fully FADEC controlled, so no overheating possible.
It's geared, so a prop strike doesn't affect the engine.
It's fully FADEC controlled, so always best prop pitch to the chosen
power setting.
and and and... in short, everything I would expect from a modern engine.
