Not that you asked for my opinion, but those guys are the best.

Seriously.

Having witnessed another diesel "surveyor" *who basically took an oil
sample, documented the engine serial numbers and checked the oil level, I
agree.

The guys from DePaul really exercised, tested, took readings, etc. of the
engines during the Navigator sea trial.
They even dynamically check things like the engine mounts by having the

almost full power again. * Several times. * Made the hair on my neck stand

I understand that feeling! When I worked on my cousin's race cars and
we'd take a motor to the shop and have them dyno it, it did the same
thing to me!
