Once the engine is cooled down and i mean cooled down you just shut it down with the throttle . I have run many gas start switch to diesel I H engines over the years from MD's up thru TD24's , and i was taught to let them cool way down . Back them on the heavy equipment when it was time to call it a day you came into the staging area and most times ya had to wait to get to the fuel tank so it sat idling and cooling down when it was your turn to fuel you fueled up and it sat idling , once fueled you took it over to where you were going to park it and you greased up and cleaned tracks while it idled some more . By the time your were done the temp gauge was now at the bottom of COLD and we would just push the throttle up to the off and she would shut down. we never had a problem with head cracking . When i started farming i had a 450 D. I bought a Junker as that wqas all i could afford and it had issues . everybody i talked to said the same thing CRACKED HEAD , well it has to be fixed so off came the head and to the machine shop it went to be checked . Well it was magni fluxed pressure tested and even X rayed , what they did find was that after all the dirt grease and oil was removed was a NW head that someone had already replaced before me . This was not my engine problem . I ran that tractor for five years hard and always cooled it down the same way . Fast forward thirty years and my Old 450 came back into the neighborhood and was at the one I H dealer with a Engine problem , Yep they pulled the head as that they thought was wrong , Nope it was not the head just like when i owned it it was the injection pump again So that tractor went thru three sets of hand after me and if the guy i sold it to relayed the info i gave him to the next owner and so on it must work.
