I'm a chief engineer on an offshore supply vessel assisting the rigs and platforms in the GOM. (blessed to still be working). We have four 16 cylinder twin turbo charged diesel engines. This morning we saw the #3 cylinder running 150 degrees Celsius cooler than other cylinders. Took off the cylinder cover and found our injector spring broke in 3 places not allowing the injector to fire. Also the top of our injector where the rocker arm plunges down was shattered. Engine has 12,000 hours.
