It sounds like a good idea and I wish I had done that.
It could double the life to the engine because it removes a half year of corrosion each year?
Wish I did that.

Josh,
Fogging diesels is very common up north. It is the easiest way to coat the cylinder walls. The yard I used in Bay City had it down to a science. Three guys would work on each boat. One running the engine, one hold the antifreeze hose to the intake port, and a third one next to the engine. As soon as the antifreeze came out the exhaust, they would spray the fogging oil into the open intake and pull the stop lever. Winterized the engine in less than a minute.

I should have clarified that prelubing does not put oil in/on the cylinders it simply pressurizes the oil header and gets it to the bearings. Some of the industrial diesels have nozzels that direct bearing lube oil to the bottom of the cylinders. I believe we all have to rely on splash to lubricate the walls of our engine cylinders. In gasoline engines I am familiar with fogging oil in the intake to coat the walls enough to lubricate the dry cylinder for starting in the spring and prevent corrosion during the winter. I am curious if the practice of putting diesel or oil in the intake isn't attempting to achieve the same thing.
