Does this Tim chap assume that all boats have block heaters? I wouldn't have expected them to be so popular, among FL boaters.
Roger wilco. :)
I can't understand what that friend of yours has against planing boats used as liveaboard. I owned a trawler for 17 years, and I lived aboard her...
How touchy. What you said just made me curious to understand better, nothing else. If I would have thought that you were making that up, I...
Well, if it was I never heard of it, and I'd be genuinely interested to see some MAN tech doc mentioning it, if you can get hold of it. BTW, the...
I would agree with your conclusion on the possible alternatives. Theoretically, the non-straight deck of the block that CJ suggested is a third...
It just popped to my mind that I have a copy of it in my files. It's specific for series 183 engines, which are different animals, but I'd expect...
If correct, that would be the most impressive diagnosis ever made just upon photographic evidence! o_O
Interesting. Do you possibly remember if that was part of standard MAN maintenance routine, or if it was an initiative of your mechanic?
Mmm... That chap should have thought to do that regardless of your suggestion. It's his job, not yours. I can only think of two possible reasons...
Yup, it's reasonable to assume that, but as the old saying goes, hindsight is a great thing... Pretty sure what happened here is not something...
It would have been a good idea to check that before unbolting the heads. I appreciate that if they were directly pulled without doing it, now my...
Well, considering the multiple sources, that's more than likely correct, I suppose. Sorry to have relayed a wrong indication, regardless of how...
Great, many thanks. As I understood from Aetna website, I guess the instrument must be feeded by their 8901 senders, installed somewhere on the...
Sounds interesting, thanks in advance for confirming the brand/model!
More than just heard, I've actually seen a holed piston due to that. But I'm not sure if that had anything to see with the brand. Actually, I...
Do you mean permanently wired? If so, I'd be curious to hear more about them, because the original engine control box designed for e/r...
Bosch injectors/nozzles are indeed crucial in these engines. Not because they aren't reliable - it's actually the opposite, in general: they are...
Hey, why don't you read what I wrote, rather than making it up on my behalf? YOU are reiterating to boredom that your engines are smooth, while...
Well, just what I said, that in terms of smoothness the V12 is the smoother of the lot, followed by the V8 and the V10. And this is something I...
