As mentioned before, if every item on the motor is upto par, and the correct oil in the motor for the temp, using ether in moderation will cause no problem except on a motor with glow plugs.

Used in excess, yes, you will have problems whether the motor is intercooled/aftercooled, whatever, just do not spray half a can in the motor to try and correct a failing item on the motor or a screwup on your part, wrong engine oil for the temp, failing glow plugs etc.

As previously stated by others, have used ether for over forty years on diesel motors have never destroyed a motor.
