Might I suggest that if we really want to hear from him we should start over discussing various different V8 engines, their bore, stroke etc etc. Simples

Afternoon David,
I believe those Detroit 2 Stroke diesels was not very good especially when fitted in a Bedford TM, Pete

Hi all, can I join in please. Here goes, Has anyone ever stoped abruptly in a Detroit 2 stroke and had it start running backwards ■■? Harvey

They learned that trick from a Perkins P6.

My late father did it on a new 3.4 BMC when they first came out. It started revving it’s nuts off, wouldn’t stop, he tried to stall it, it went backwards, then went bang. New engine under warranty.
