Default Re: runaway diesel

How did you shut it down ? How long was it in run away mode? The main issue with a diesel run away diesel is stretching of the rods. Most run away ends in a catastrophic failure involving a long needing to be purchased hopefully you got it shut off before that. At least you did not send a piston though the side of the block.
