Common failures & inspection points
Fuel injection nozzle corrosion from improper cooling temperature control. Low temperatures cause sulfated corrosion on nozzle tip; high temperatures cause carb
Vibration and fatigue failure of fuel oil piping due to high-pressure oscillations; documented technical bulletin countermeasures exist
Cylinder ring groove wear and chromium plating degradation requiring renewal; chromium-plated piston rings must be replaced when original surface appears worn
O-ring degradation in cooling water connecting pipes leading to sealing failures and coolant leakage; improved O-ring specifications documented
Piston ring seal degradation causing insufficient compression pressure; non-airtight piston rings require maintenance or replacement
