schlackoff, you do not have a clew on anything to do with engines.

Just pulling the heads and dropping
the pan can be called a "teardown" and those things are relatively easy
to do. Not more than a days work. Not that they'll do that every time.
It all depends on where they are in the service cycle. But keeping
their single engine, their sole source of livelyhood and safety, working
in top shape is what the engineer is paid to do.

And yet, they are plugs. And could easily have been confused for plugs
by the author.

schlackoff, any author -- or ng poster by the handle of "steve" -- who confuses
fuel injectors with spark plugs can mistake a diesel for a gas engine.

You mean like you did?

Why not?

schlackoff, they can be soaked in pineapple juice, too, but why? what would be
the purpose?

To clean them. But then again, you're the one saying it's impossible to
do.

Of course. And the fact that you think they're impossible to clean
proves you don't.

Freeze plugs are plugs that can be cleaned.

No, they can't. Besides, to what purpose?

Yes they can. To keep a nice clean engine. A grease caked engine can
hide the early warning signs of some problems.

the are no electrical plugs on the engine of commercial seagoing vessel.

Depends on the engine. I'll bet you're wrong.

okay, schlackoff, which engine are you willing to bet on?

Perkins 4-108. There are plenty of them in commercial seagoing vessels
and they have electrical plugs that can be cleaned.

You lose, idiot.

Just because you made a mistake with Jungers words doesn't mean you know
anything at all about what it takes to tear down an engine.

Steve


Huh? the diesel engine on a commercial fishing vessel is torn down the
night
before sailing to effect a major overhaul? And is torn down and overhauled
by
drunken, nervous crew?

Those are your words, not mine. I said that often (not always) the
engineer will do a teardown while in port between extended trips at sea
to check the engine. It might not need a major overhaul. That doesn't
mean it won't be checked.

schlackoff, it is obvious you have no idea what is involved in "tearing
down"
and engine.

And yet you're the one who thinks it's impossible to clean an injector.
And you're the one who thinks commercial fishing boat crews just go to
sea for weeks at a time without servicing their engines.

Joxie, you are too stupid for words.

schlackoff, you can clean the bottom of soup cans discarded in the garbage,
too, but that doesn't mean anyone does it.

ever meet nervous, drunken commercial fishing boat crew, schlackoff, who
cleaned the freeze plugs on an engine the night before sailing?



Steve

oh? what plugs are that, schlackoff, that are need to be cleaned on a 4-108
used by a long-liner fishing boat? And cleaned the night before sailing by the
nervous, drunken crew?

okay, schlackoff, which engine are you willing to bet on?

Perkins 4-108. There are plenty of them in commercial seagoing vessels
and they have electrical plugs that can be cleaned.

You lose, idiot.

Steve

why would you clean glow plugs, schlackoff, at all, let alone the night before
sailing on a commercial fishing boat by the nervous, drunken crew?

schlackoff, they can be soaked in pineapple juice, too, but why? what would
be
the purpose?

To clean them. But then again, you're the one saying it's impossible to
