I have a friend who has this problem, and it turns out it may not be all that
serious. He changed oil and ran it a bit, then changed oil again and ran it,
and did that a couple of times. When he had finished, the mechanic told him
that he had just steam cleaned his engine.

But there may be more to it that I have forgotten. I am going to sent this to
the guy and see if he won't tell any part of the story that I forgot.

What I do know, however, is that with a little work he certainly didn't have to
have the engine rebuilt.

Hey,
Some seawater is in my newly re-built MDIIB diesel (volvo), what do I do?
I changed the oil five times and the filter twice. Runs great otherwise.
