Inspection

Inspector Detail

Common issues

  • Gas admission valve (GAV) leakage or sticking causing knock or misfire in gas mode
  • Common-rail high-pressure pump wear leading to rail pressure fluctuation
  • Turbocharger bearing wear from prolonged high-load dual-fuel operation
  • Charge air cooler fouling reducing charge density and raising exhaust temperatures
  • Piston ring and liner wear accelerated by repeated switching between gas and liquid fuel
  • Knock sensor or control system faults triggering unplanned load reduction in gas mode
  • Cylinder head valve seat recession during liquid-fuel (HFO) backup operation

Inspection checklist

  • Verify gas admission valve tightness per maker's leak-test procedure before gas-mode start
  • Check cylinder exhaust temperature spread across all 20 cylinders
  • Inspect turbocharger compressor and turbine blades for fouling or erosion
  • Check crankcase oil condition and wear-metal trend (iron, copper)
  • Verify common-rail accumulator pressure holds within tolerance at idle and load
  • Inspect charge air cooler for fouling and check pressure drop across the cooler
  • Check knock sensor calibration and gas-mode safety shutdown function
  • Visually check double-wall gas fuel piping integrity and ventilation fan operation
  • Review governor/PMS load-sharing behaviour during fuel-mode changeover

Service intervals

Cylinder head overhaultypically 16,000-24,000 running hours - condition-based, follow the maker's maintenance plan
Turbocharger overhaultypically 16,000-20,000 hours or per maker's condition-monitoring guidance
Gas admission valve inspectiontypically 4,000-8,000 hours
Lube oil analysisevery 500 hours or per the maker's set running-hour interval
Piston/liner borescope inspectiontypically 8,000-12,000 hours
Common-rail filter replacementtypically every 2,000-4,000 hours

Typical intervals for this design class, not the manufacturer’s figures for your model. The manufacturer’s manual is binding.

Typical wear limits

Piston ring gaptypically 0.8-1.5 mm for this bore class - confirm against the engine's own manual
Cylinder liner wear (bore increase)condition-based, commonly assessed against a per-diameter wear-rate limit rather than one fixed figure - confirm against maker's limit table
Big-end/main bearing clearancecheck against the maker's stated range in the engine's own instruction manual

Ranges are typical for this design class. Always confirm against the manufacturer documentation for your serial number.

Critical spares

  • Gas admission valves (per cylinder)
  • Fuel injectors / injection valves
  • Piston rings and liner set
  • Turbocharger bearing/cartridge set
  • Cylinder head gasket set
  • Charge air cooler element
  • Knock sensors

Safety

  • Gas fuel double-wall piping - loss of ventilation is a critical alarm and must never be bypassed
  • Crankcase explosion risk - oil mist detector function must be verified per schedule
  • High-pressure common-rail fuel system - never work on the rail while pressurised
  • Gas-mode purging sequence must be completed before maintenance to avoid gas accumulation in enclosed spaces
  • Hot surfaces on exhaust manifold and turbocharger during and after operation

Class survey

Normally eligible for Continuous Survey Machinery (CSM) where the owner opts in; classification societies expect condition-monitoring data (oil analysis trends, turbocharger vibration, cylinder pressure and exhaust temperature records) to support interval extension. Gas fuel system components (GAVs, double-wall piping, ventilation, ESD) are additionally subject to IGF Code survey requirements.

Estimated lifetime: Medium-speed dual-fuel engines of this class typically reach major overhaul intervals around 60,000-90,000 hours before piston, liner and bearing renewal, with continued service well beyond that given proper overhaul cycles - engine-specific, confirm against the maker's TBO schedule

For marine equipment hardly any maker or authorised dealer will name a price while the vessel is unknown. With the vessel details, availability and price can be settled faster; without them we may have to ask first, which costs a few days. If you are not allowed to name the vessel, a photo of the rating plate is enough — attach it below or send it as a reply to our confirmation e-mail.
