Greetings:
Thanks for the post. As a Marine Engineer, I've spent considerable time O&M'ing these type of large T/C crosshead 2 strokes both at sea and shoreside in additon to both steam and combustion turbines. Loads of fun, I still get a kick out of climbing into the crankcase via full size doors and standing on the crank throws checking stuff out. Had a crank on a similar motor snap in half a couple of years ago, that was exciting :-(. New ones don't grow on trees. As a CCX owner (428FE powered), I get the theory just fine with automotive technology, it's the practical aspect where I come up short. This CC website has been an invaluable resource.
