- Cylinders and covers.
- Pistons, piston rods, connecting rods, crossheads and
guides.
- Valves and valve gear.
- Crankshafts and all bearings.
- Crankcases, bedplates and entablatures.
- Crankcase door fastenings, explosion relief devices and scavenge
relief devices.
- Scavenge pumps, scavenge blowers, superchargers and their
associated coolers.
- Air compressors and their intercoolers.
- Filters and/or separators and safety devices.
- Fuel pumps and fittings.
- Camshaft drives and balancer units.
- Vibration dampers or detuners.
- Flexible couplings and clutches.
- Reverse gears.
- Attached pumps and cooling arrangements.
8.2.3 Selected pipes in the starting air system are to be removed for internal
examination and thickness measurement is to be carried out where considered
necessary by the Surveyor. If any appreciable amount of lubricating oil is found in
the pipes, the starting air system is to be thoroughly cleaned internally by
steaming out, or other suitable means. Some of the pipes selected are to be those
adjacent to the starting air valves at the cylinders and to the discharges from the
air compressors.
8.2.4 The electric ignition system, if fitted, is to be examined and
tested.
8.2.5 The manoeuvring of engines is to be tested under working conditions.
Initial starting arrangements are to be tested.
8.2.6 Where steam is used for essential purposes, the condensing plant, feed
pumps and fuel oil burning plant are to be examined and the steam pipes examined and
tested as detailed in Pt 1, Ch 3, 11 Steam pipes.
