As it happens I'm going to be having a drink with the European Rep. for this Company. I think before I show him the editorial Carl first posted I will ask him what he knows, Officially or not. I known him some time now and he lives in the same street as me. I've had a few dealings with the marine side of this company and must say I prefer the MTU's Volvo and the smaller Perkins.
I believe that I was working for a certain company not so long ago and we fitted 3 of these engines in a BIG yacht. When caming back from sea trials she had a 10mm bulge in Maindeck and a hole big enough to put your fist in in the Engine block. Maybe even a hole in the ships side(can't remember) due to an engine explosion. This was, at the time, put down to Human error. Now after seeing this thread I might even owe a certain Engineering manager an apology. I ask my friend tonight anyway.
To finish..
"Uh oh! Everybody duck! Incoming... " Carl you crack me up
