Common failures & inspection points

Low-load operation: Poor combustion, carbon deposit accumulation in cylinders, turbocharger fouling, economizer fouling. Wärtsilä offers Slow Steaming Upgrade K
Cylinder liner wear and scuffing (general 4-stroke diesel pattern, not W31-specific): Exacerbated by inadequate lubrication oil film, excessive cylinder tempera
Fuel injection system: Common rail system generally robust; however, HP fuel pump overhaul intervals are extended to 24,000 hrs (vs. 12,000 in prior-gen engines
Scavenge space deposit accumulation and fire risk (class-wide diesel phenomenon): Carbonized lube oil and unburnt fuel residues accumulate in scavenge space. Ex
