Common failures & inspection points

Piston ring wear and peeling under continuous low-load operation; Chrome-ceramic rings susceptible to peeling and whitening due to inadequate oil film at low lo

Visual inspection of piston crowns and rings through scavenge ports; Monitor residual Base Number (BN) in cylinder oil - must not be lower than BN10 for fuels with 0.1% < S < 0.5%; Verify iron (Fe) content in oil below 500 mg/kg; Regular piston underside inspections mandatory

Cold corrosion in cylinder liners during low-load operation; Cylinder temperatures can fall below dew point of combustion gases, causing acidic condensation att

Monitor cylinder cooling water outlet temperature - maintain as close as possible to alarm limit during low-load operation; Check cylinder oil chemistry (BN, iron content); Review engine load profile and operating hours at part load; Ensure proper cylinder oil selection (Mobilgard 5100 or equivalent approved for cold corrosion mitigation at 0.8 g/kWh feed rate)

Cylinder liner glazing (polishing) with loss of crosshatch pattern; Mirror-like surface prevents proper oil retention, leading to direct metal-to-metal ring/lin

Borescope inspection for liner wall condition - look for loss of crosshatch grooves, polished appearance; Monitor for increased blow-by (crankcase pressure); Check piston rings for scuff marks; In-situ liner honing may be required if glazing detected

Turbocharger bearing wear and contamination; Oil starvation or contaminated lubrication oil causes excessive bearing play, compressor/turbine wheel contact with

Check turbocharger oil inlet and outlet lines for blockages or kinks; Monitor engine lube oil condition and change intervals strictly; Listen for abnormal turbocharger noise (grinding, whining); Verify turbocharger is running smoothly with no axial/radial play; Inspect for oil discharge from compressor outlet

Fuel injection nozzle coking with high-sulphur fuel (>0.5% S); Zinc carboxylate and zinc carbonate deposits form in nozzle holes, reducing flow rate and degradi

Monitor fuel quality - verify compliance with ISO 8217:2012 marine fuel standard; Check fuel temperature in hot box (typically 45-50°C); Inspect fuel strainer/separator condition frequently; Monitor engine performance - loss of power, rough running, black exhaust smoke may indicate nozzle coking; Schedule regular fuel injector cleaning/replacement if necessary
