Inspection

Inspector Detail ✓ verified

Common issues

  • Piston ring stiction and breakage due to carbon deposits in grooves
  • Fuel system leaks and contamination due to Common Rail system complexity
  • Cylinder liner wear and scoring due to inadequate lubrication or cooling
  • Exhaust valve seat wear and damage from overheating or poor maintenance
  • Turbocharger fouling and failure from inadequate air filtration or oil contamination
  • Crankshaft bearing wear and damage from misalignment or inadequate lubrication
  • Camshaft and cam follower wear from inadequate lubrication or misalignment

Inspection checklist

  • Cylinder compression tests
  • Fuel system pressure and flow checks
  • Lubrication system checks, including oil analysis
  • Cooling system checks, including temperature and flow measurements
  • Exhaust system inspections, including turbocharger and exhaust valve checks
  • Crankshaft and camshaft endplay measurements
  • Piston ring and cylinder liner condition assessments
  • Starting air system checks, including compressor and valve inspections
  • Governor and control system checks, including fuel injection timing and quantity

Service intervals

itemevery 1000-2000 hours for minor maintenance, every 5000-10000 hours for major overhauls

Typical wear limits

cylinder_liner0.5-1.0 mm wear limit, depending on operating conditions and maintenance
piston_ring0.2-0.5 mm wear limit, depending on operating conditions and maintenance
crankshaft_bearing0.1-0.2 mm wear limit, depending on operating conditions and maintenance

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

Critical spares

  • Piston rings and cylinder liners
  • Fuel injectors and nozzle tips
  • Turbocharger components, including wheels and bearings
  • Crankshaft and camshaft bearings
  • Exhaust valves and seats
  • Cylinder head gaskets and seals
  • Lubrication system filters and pumps

Safety

  • Risk of fuel system leaks and fires due to inadequate maintenance or component failure
  • Risk of explosion from starting air system malfunction or inadequate ventilation
  • Risk of injury from rotating machinery or high-pressure systems
  • Risk of environmental damage from oil spills or exhaust emissions

Class survey

Class surveyors typically check for compliance with regulatory requirements, including emissions and safety standards, and verify maintenance and overhaul records to ensure equipment is properly maintained and operated

Estimated lifetime: 20000-40000 hours, depending on operating conditions, maintenance, and overhaul schedules

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.
