Compression brake to your heart's content, certainly not the end of the world. Besides you kitchen bitches squabbling about it like a couple of school girls is goddamn embarassing.

Dosen't engine braking put the motor under heavy vacuum? So wouldn't this help with possible sticky seals or even engine break in?
Do some builders tell you to engine decel sometimes to help the seals in seating?
Thanks

this has been an interesting read/flame whatever, i just have one comment
I don't regularly use the engine to brake. As a matter of fact, I rarely do it. I'm in the habit of bumping it into neutral and just coasting often.
bumping into neutral and coasting? that is a bad bad driving habit, power is often needed to get out of dangerous situations.. often far better than the brake is anyway... my words of wisdom signal 2 is to get out of that habbit, one day it may save your life, or even more... your fd
(no personal attack, just a joke; im sure your life is more valuble)
<==Learn from this guy, hes allways ready for that problem around the corner(or anywhere for that matter)
Peace
