In Response To: Re: Yannies - Blue Smoke (CMP)

My 1993 four cylinder Yanmars have right at 2000 hours on them. In my five years of ownership (1000 hours), I've checked the valve clearances twice and found them right on the mark. I've never cleaned the turbos and the fins stay clean. It is my understanding that the six cylinder 6LP engines are actually marinized Toyota truck blocks and have had some valve failure problems. They may want the clearances checked more often due to these failures. Read some of the discussion on yanmarhelp.com. There is actually a class action suit pertaining to the some of the 6LP's talked about there. Overall, Yanmars are great engines. Good luck with yours.
