Experienced a runaway engine today. Rather interesting.

One of the guys put 3 litres too much oil in. Brought it down to us, the lads dropped the oil and put the right amount in, then started and revved it. I heard it start to go from my office and knew what had happened. Legged it downstairs and they had just removed the battery and it died (I think it ran out of oil at that same time) The crank breather had filled the intercooler which was ok on the slow drive here but when revved harder started sucking it in.

Not sure 7-8k rpm is ideal in a 1.3 suzuki swift though haha!
