Subject: Re: Locomotive Engine Failure - Blown Piston


Burlington, KS
Thanks, I have to take cylinder pressure traces and vibrations on a couple 8600 BHP V14's in the next couple weeks. I connect to the Kiene valve coming off the head and get pressure traces timed to crank position, as well as vibration traces to tell the timing of valve movement and fuel injection, leading to knowing the overall health of the engine. That requires pretty intimate contact with the running engine, I don't wish for it to embrace me back. Always was concerned of the rapid intrusion of engine parts in the people space, that was impressive.
