    Burnt exhaust valve seats have been observed on some K/L/S-MC engines due to a lack of spindle rotation. The lifting/rotation indicator pin had worn a groove in the air piston, obstructing spindle rotation. The indicator is not designed for continuous use and should only be activated briefly after maintenance to check valve functioning. At overhauls, the air piston and indicator pin contact surfaces should be inspected for damage and repaired or replaced if needed.

    Service Letter
    K/L/S-MC Engines
    Burnt Exhaust Valve Seats
    Lifting/Rotation Indicator
    Dear Sirs,

    Burnt exhaust valve seats, provoked by a lack of spindle rotation, have recently been
    observed.
    As a result of continuous activation, the lifting/rotation indicator pin had worn a deep
    groove in the curved surface of the air piston, thus obstructing the free rotation of the
    spindle. This situation is particularly prevalent at low engine load where the rotational
    force created by the exhaust gas forces on the spindle vane wheel is small. Please
    refer to the enclosed figure.
    We therefore emphasize:
    That the indicator pin must only be activated for short periods to check the valve
    functioning, e.g. after overhaul work. Please refer to our instruction books,
    Volume I, Checks during starting and Checks during running, in Chapter 703.
    The indicator device was never intended or designed for continuous operation.
    At the next overhaul, the contact surfaces on the air piston and the indicator pin
    should be checked for damage. Small marks can be smoothened by grinding. Air
    pistons with extensive damage should be replaced. Repair by welding is not
    recommended.
    Yours faithfully,
    MAN B&W Diesel A/S
