Later another change of fuel had similar results to the iron levels in the waste cylinder lubricant.
Cylinder 4 was shown to be most badly affected, and the very high levels lasted for many days. At the
time the crew took no actions to prevent further damage. The engine manufacturer decided to carry
out an inspection at the next available port. It was found that:
•
All cylinders showed increased levels of wear (scuffing)
•
Cylinder 4 was so badly damaged that the whole liner and rings need replacement even
though the rings were only approximately 400 hours old
•
Cylinder 2 required a piston and ring change.
