I like rotaries, so I'll let the analogy stand on that basis.
In WWII, a P47 pilot took a bunch of anti-aircraft fire and his (2100 hp rotary) engine starting sounding funny, so he turned and headed back across the Channel as fast as he could. He made it fine and on landing found two of his cylinders had 20 mm diameter holes in them. That plane was a beast.
