I just had a guy tell me that when a gasoline engine diesels, there is a good chance that it spins backwards.
He claims that it hurts the engine by not getting oil.
Questions:
1. Is this a common issue? My 261 and 216 diesel for a couple seconds and I’ve never had an issue.
2. Are there certain engines more prone to this issue?
3. How does 1-2 seconds of minimal to no oil hurt an engine that thrives runs on lower pressures when idling (216, 235, 261). Mine 235 and 261 run at 30 plus PSI until warm and then drop low when idling.
Thanks guys, I just can’t wrap my brain around this. Maybe I’m overthinking it?!?!
