Inspection

Inspector Detail ✓ verified

Common issues

  • Fuel injector deposits and carbon buildup due to high pressure common rail system
  • Cylinder liner wear and scuffing due to high compression ratios
  • Exhaust valve seat wear and leakage due to high exhaust gas temperatures
  • Turbocharger blade erosion and fouling due to high sulfur content in fuel
  • Lubricating oil contamination and degradation due to high engine loads
  • Crankshaft and camshaft bearing wear due to high rotational stresses
  • Piston ring and cylinder wall scoring due to inadequate lubrication

Inspection checklist

  • Cylinder head and valve condition
  • Piston and ring condition
  • Crankshaft and camshaft bearing condition
  • Turbocharger and exhaust system condition
  • Fuel injector and common rail system condition
  • Lubricating oil condition and contamination
  • Cooling system condition and leakage
  • Exhaust gas temperature and emissions monitoring
  • Engine vibration and noise levels

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.
