Re: Advice or guidance please
Hey Newbie.. Sorry to join the discussion so late. I entered the field using a 1 year diesel mechanics course at a local college. I paid my own way for my MED's and have been working "self-study" the rest of the way. In order to get your 4ths, you have to have a number of skill requirement...

Re: Engine information
Oh, yeah. One more thing. MAK was recently bought out by Caterpillar.

Hey OSS We run MAK 6M 282's as our generators on board and generally they are very reliable. Our number 2 has had some challenges with jacket leaks that showed up as a fuel gallery alarm last year.

Re: The nuts and bolts
Thanks Barbie...can I call you that? My experience has taught me that squishy feeling just before the cap comes off, followed by that squishy feeling in my stomach - the manual does not always give a guideline. I work on smaller engines sometimes and its tricky to get them to the right tightness and...

Re: Fault Finding 2
Great story BP, I'm thinking that maybe the purifier was working just fine despite its operational environment?

Re: Conrod question
Okay, this technology is called fracture splitting and its been around for a while in other fields but only recently adapted for use in the manufacture of connection rods. I found a technical article about it but when I tried to up load it I got a message "The extension pdf is not allowed"...
