Which is a worry

Think this happened to ralph on his old bmw.

They generally explode rather than seize cos unlike fuel its ungoverned and just rev till something can't hold on any longer.

Untill you have seen a Turbo car runnaway when its burnt its own engine oil you would never belive a disel could rev so fast.
