i would say you certainly do know what your talking about, your quite right, due to the extremely close tolerances achievable by modern machine tools these engines are fully loosened up by 15k to say it needs 50k is a nonsense, nice to have a hands on diesel expert on board, any one who was a chief enginnering officer in the real world of marine enginnering gets my vote (we have far to many chair bound warriors around the forums in my humble opinion)
