I always use the decomp lever when shutting down the two cylinder diesels. Whether or not it is beneficial to the engine/flywheel, I don"t really care to argue, but you can"t argue the benefit of spreading the wear on that flywheel ring gear. As Brandon said they usually land one of two places when under full compression and those two areas are usually pretty well worn on the ring gear. When the decomp is used during shutdown the flywheel coasts to a stop at a different place every time. I can argue that one because I have witnessed it many times with my flywheel cover off.

I hope you"re not one of those guys that also doesn"t feel it is necessary to use the decomp for warm starting either. That is a whole new discussion in itself.
