"Running away" due to lube oil being drawn past worn piston rings in worn bores or through damaged scavenge blower seals was not uncommon on two stroke diesels. GM actually fitted an emergency shut off flap in the air intake on Detroit diesel engines as standard! Blocking the air intake is the only way to stop an engine suffering this type of runaway.
