Took the diesel technology course at the local community college a few years back.Part of the course required complete disassembly and reassembly of different diesel engines.One guy had just put back together a 6-71 detroit and had it on a test stand to start up.Well the engine started up ok and it kept revving higher and higher and higher,pretty soon that ol' jimmy was screaming.By now the engine is eating itself alive and all the instructer could do is close the door in the engine room and get all the student's the hell out of the shop.Now there's smoke pouring out of the engine room and filling the shop with smoke and smoke is pouring out the open windows of the shop and that jimmy is just screaming and then she lets loose with a pretty decent bang as smoke continues to pour out the windows.Students and faculty were coming out of the nearby classrooms to see what was up.It was a sight to behold man I mean smoke is just billowing out of the windows.Lesson here was make sure governor is right and have a 2x6 ready to block air flow to the engine.
