Inspection

Inspector Detail ✓ verified

Common issues

  • Piston cooling nozzle blockage/misalignment due to gasket residue and combustion deposits
  • Fuel system contamination from Heavy Fuel Oil (HFO) up to 700 cSt @ 50°C
  • Common Rail system faults leading to uneven fuel injection and engine performance issues
  • Cylinder liner wear and scuffing due to high compression ratios and fuel types
  • Exhaust valve and seat wear from high-temperature exhaust gases
  • Turbocharger fouling and surge from inadequate maintenance and filter cleaning
  • Lubrication system oil contamination and degradation from high-temperature operation

Inspection checklist

  • Piston cooling nozzle alignment and blockage check
  • Fuel system filter inspection and cleaning
  • Common Rail system inspection and testing
  • Cylinder head and valve train inspection
  • Cylinder liner and piston ring condition check
  • Exhaust system inspection for leaks and damage
  • Turbocharger inspection and cleaning
  • Lubrication system oil analysis and filter inspection
  • Engine performance monitoring and trend analysis

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.
