Crusing @ 1900rpm lost rpm went to engine room to examine, oil was everywere. limped in on 1 engine spent 2 days cleaning mess and diagnosed oil blowing out of dipstick even at idle also oil pressure was low 18lbs cold and i believe i hear a knock in #6 cyl, removed cyl head top of pistons look ok, some minor scoring on cylinder walls.
Investigating this I discovered this engine has recieved 25K in warranty repairs, last being 150 hours ago.
Cat refuses to consider a possible damaged engine from previous warranty issues. Engine is still in boat, i intend to remove it and tear down to discover all damage (speculating broken / damaged rings from previous seawater intrusion from warranty issues and damaged #6 rod bearing damage also resulting from seawater intrusion). I'm SICK over this. Any opinion greaty appreciated.
