Man, that was quite the video. I'm assuming the guy that could afford to pour that much money into an engine can also afford to lose it.

That thing at the end sounded a whole lot like a run away Jimmy-----a sound I have first person knowledge of
Ben----is that engine prone to run away?
There was also a few puffs of white smoke in the runup that would have concerned me

I think any engine that has a source of incoming oxygen and some kind of fuel (even antifreeze) can trigger a runaway...With the modifications those engines endure I would say, yes to the possibility...And I agree on the white smoke - I would have shut down that second......Ben

The Jimmy that ran away for me was in an excavator so the engine was behind me. I was also down on a shelf digging a jack and bore pit to go under a railroad. The location made the intensity of the noise even worse----it sounded as if a helicopter was landing on my head. The "E" stop was to my left and slightly behind me---by the time I realized what was happening and got hold of the "E" stop it was all over
We ended up rebuilding the engine down in that hole. I would have dropped a crate engine in it but couldn't get one quickly enough.
That is the only engine I ever had run away. I have never heard of a Cat running away----and they do not have "E" stops on them either.
