In Response To: Re: High hr 6bt (Walter Kaprielian)

Not knowing these engines real well but familar with people who do run them.I know a charter captain in the keys who had 14,000 hours on his 6BT and his mechanic gave it a clean bill of health. He did a lot of trolling though. I use Marvel Mystery oil every time I add my addative which is every refuel. I was advised to do this by a good Diesel mechanic for prolonging the valve seats particularly. Get a survey by a certified engine surveyor to be sure. Sounds good but be sure. Dave K
