Steve,
The Detroit 4-71 and 6-71 diesels (among others) were two stroke diesels
that were prone to "run away" when the rings got really bad. I've only seen
it happen once. I don't wish to see it again. "Look out Captain, I think
she's going to blow!!!".

City buses around here that were equipped with Detroit diesels had an
emergency shut off built in that consisted of some sort of flap that would
block the air supply. Pretty sure it was standard with those engines, but I
don't know for certain.
