We're preparing for a survey on a DF 44 next month. What's the consensus on the usefulness of a separate engine survey on Ford Lehman 135s? I have djmarchand's excellent summary of things to look at (http://www.trawlerforum.com/forums/s6/engine-survey-checklist-13125.html).
Just wondering what a mechanic would be allowed to do that my experienced hull surveyor and I can't accomplish. The surveyor routinely pulls oil for analysis and we can perform most of the things on a checklist for these non-turbo engines. Is there significantly more peace of mind with a dedicated engine survey?
Thanks.
