Hi there,
my name is Uwe. I live in Germany and I have an old 1977 "Versilcraft" with two Detroit Diesel 8V71 engines. Every year I change the oil and filter, check the cooling water and clean the air system. So I have had no problems with the Detroit Diesel over 25 years ,
Here is my question. My friend wants to buy a boat "Baglietto 20M" with two Detroit Diesel 12V71. During a check I found water in the gear oil. Where can that come from?
I also measured the temperatures at the cylinder outlet. All cylinders are around 52 degrees Celsius but one is only 20 degrees Celsius. What could be the cause?
I would be very happy to receive an answer because there are hardly any Detroit Diesel spe******ts in Germany. All just Volvo.
Greetings from Germany
Uwe
