Speaking of diesel engine books. I read that cruising sailbooats with
diesel engines should have a heavy-duty blower installed in the engine
compartment, with proper venting, to extend longevity of all related
components.

Sounds like a good idea. Yet, as far as I know, not even Baby-Blake
endowed Swans bother with this.

Don't forget that a diesel engine, which has no throttle butterfly, is
moving a lot of air out of the compartment all the time it is running
