Inspection

Inspector Detail ✓ verified

Common issues

  • Excessive cylinder liner wear due to incorrect fuel injection timing
  • Scavenge air leakage causing reduced engine efficiency and increased emissions
  • Fuel pump malfunction resulting in poor engine performance and potential damage to fuel system components
  • Crankpin bearing wear due to inadequate lubrication
  • Turbocharger fouling or failure leading to reduced engine power output
  • Exhaust valve leakage or damage causing overheating and reduced engine efficiency
  • Low compression in cylinders due to worn or damaged piston rings or cylinder liners

Inspection checklist

  • Cylinder head and valve condition
  • Piston and ring condition
  • Crankshaft and bearing condition
  • Fuel injection system and pump condition
  • Turbocharger condition and performance
  • Scavenge air system and piping condition
  • Lubrication system condition and oil quality
  • Exhaust system condition and temperature monitoring
  • Engine control and monitoring system functionality

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.
