Had a 606 run away on me on motor oil. There's a bulletin out about that, about how you're supposed to let the oil spout run towards the front of the valve cover (down the t-chain cavity) instead of back towards the valve seals. If you try to start it too soon, it does something goofy like sucks oil past the intake valve seals. Man, smoke city, couldn't see the other side of the shop. First oil change too. Held together just fine, lasted I dunno, things happen so fast-30 seconds I'd guess?
In school we had a plastic lunch tray from the cafeteria to block airflow if we had a runaway, instructor wrote "The Big Switch" on it with a marker, someone had to use it once in class, no clear recollection of that event. Early 80's, all kind of a fog now.
