I think the actual "damage" from ether comes from using too much of it to start an engine or using it too frequently and causing a hard fire on a cold engine that normally breaks or cracks compression rings. Then as the rings become broken the compresson is reduced and it becomes harder to start, hence the "addiction" to ether to be able to start the engine where it may have started before. I have had several diesel engines that I have used ether on and have one that the engine is tired and needs ether almost every time to start it. I know the rings are cracked and the engine is down on compression, but did the ether cause it?? Really no way to know, but it didnt help it any. My opinion is that ether doesnt cause any immidate damage to an engine, but in does increase the wear on the rings and main / rod bearings and will shorten an engines life with frequent or over use. Just my 2 cents.
