Sensible suggestions appreciated.
Cheers
I can't answer within your parameters, but I will tell you of the Tune Up specs of the GM diesel in the M113A1 APC the army had. It had a GM TurboDiesel V6, and a nice little jigger it was too. When You did the tune up sequence, you did it to a predetermined sequence. This sequence was listed on a series of lists, on a clipboard. So what, I hear you ask. Well, the clipboard was made from 10mm aluminium. The idea was, if the GM ran away, you stuck the clipboard over the exposed ( you were tuning it up, remember? ) air intake. Fingers were optional. Those GMs would run on their own oil if they got away. Scary stuff.
