Well lets think about basic diesel engine operation a minute, a diesel creates enough heat from compression to ignite the fuel when it is introduced somewhere very close to when the piston and rod assembly are straight up and down (TDC), now ether being much more explosive than diesel is introduced and it's going to burn way before TDC putting added stress on piston, rings, rod, rod bearings and starter as far as that goes if too much is used. Did you ever use ether as a parts cleaner? It's wonderful, removes all the oily residue, does the same thing to your cylinder walls, so added friction= added wear, I have torn engines down where if piston ring lands didn't fall out when I removed the pistons they were at least cracked on every piston I can only attribute that to ether, so all that being said I use ether when needed but I know what I'm doing and dont use too much. As a general rule diesels are overbuilt and can take alot of abuse and mistreatment but they can be damaged by someone with the finger on a ether can.
