Inspection

Inspector Detail ✓ verified

Common issues

  • Valve clearance adjustment failures causing valve bridge guide stress and engine breakdown
  • Fuel system leaks and clogging due to heavy fuel oil (HFO) up to 700 cSt/50°C
  • Excessive cylinder liner wear due to inadequate maintenance or low-quality fuel
  • Turbocharger fouling and failure due to poor exhaust gas quality
  • Lubrication system contamination and oil degradation
  • Crankshaft and camshaft bearing wear and failure
  • Piston ring and cylinder liner scoring

Inspection checklist

  • Valve clearance and valve bridge guide condition
  • Fuel system filters and injectors for signs of clogging or wear
  • Cylinder liner and piston condition
  • Turbocharger and exhaust gas system for signs of fouling or damage
  • Lubrication system oil quality and contamination
  • Crankshaft and camshaft bearing condition
  • Piston ring and cylinder liner condition
  • Engine mounting and alignment
  • Cooling system condition and leaks

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.
