I have 2 Cummins 6bt5.7M (4k hours) that are beginning to smoke and
leave a film at the exhaust (sea water output). The port engine is the
worst, but both engines have the same problem.

The low turbo pressure & excessive radial movement is definitely a
problem. New bearings? Good idea to get the injectors checked out too,
though.

FWIW I have a problem with a small diesel genset. I have rebuilt the
fuel supply system, and the engine ran fine unloaded, but after a while
started to bog down and then died. Sounds like a fuel restriction?
Anyway I did not have time to troubleshoot it this past weekend, maybe next.
