MTU sea stars engine details,
Opened up the engines, we are safe. Meaning the cylinder sleeve are changeable that means we can use this block and do in place rebuild and have the MTU brand stay. I now see why they cost so much, Now that this top MTU mechanic is bringing me up to speed on these exact models, I can see why they are 150K new. These are built to fix fast a million times and run for 400,000 hours. So much engineering and mechanical adaptation that the heads of every cylinder has its own head instead of a row. These disassemble easy and the way they have every 12 pt bolt, its a race engine designed for pit stop fast repairs not requiring machines or cranes. I've never seen anything like it. They also dont have a ton of high tech sensors, very basic. Plus now that I see how these MTU which was mercedes back in 1994 before Rolls Royce bought them work, I easily see why they are considered the very best in marine. They are also the newer (tier-two CA. air pollution) std. 4 stroke. and when all things equal should always sell first over Detroits, Cummins, Cats, Yanmars or .Volvos
