(<a href=\"https:\/\/bartechmarine.com\/blog\/mtu-396-bearing-cap-tightening\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">If you missed it, you can read it here<\/a>).<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>The overhaul&rsquo;s in full swing, and today we&rsquo;ve carried out some testing rarely asked for by our clients.<\/p>\n<p>During the inspection process, you&rsquo;ll be aware of the various measurement and crack detection checks, including the pressure testing of the cylinder heads, but have you been involved in this type of testing?<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\"

allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>This pressure testing of the crankcase was requested to check there wasn&rsquo;t any internal damage to the complicated water system.<\/p>\n<p>The alternative would be X-ray, but on an item of this size, that would be a very expensive option!<\/p>\n<p>The focus is usually on the pistons, rods, bearings etc, but as the crankcase is such a fundamental part of the engine, that needs to be thoroughly checked as well.<\/p>\n<p>If there was any internal damage, it could easily result in significant downtime and problems from an engine seizure.<\/p>\n<p>The pressure test proved there wasn&rsquo;t any internal damage, so the rebuild could continue, but that&rsquo;s given added confidence in the future of the engine and all for only an extra 2 hours.<\/p>\n<p>For me, it&rsquo;s refreshing that our client requested it themselves &#8211; it&rsquo;s great working with people who have the same high standards as Bartech.<\/p>\n<p>Are there any testing regimes YOU insist on?<\/p>\n<p><h3>If you\u2019re after a trustworthy engine specialist with an excellent track record for your job, email us <a
