Any injector problem at sea can be rectified by replacing the injector with a spare. However the candidate is required to know how the following faults can be identified and rectified.

 A very interesting article for the Technically Minded.

Abstract
This study focuses on investigation of the method of identifying injector faults in a JCB 444T2 diesel engine using
acoustic emission (AE) technique. Different kinds of injector faults were seeded in the four-cylinder, four-stroke,
and turbo-engine. Then, faulty injectors are tested to evaluate AE based injection fault detection.

 Would you believe me if I were to tell you that the presence of a few tiny bubbles, some so small that you need a microscope to see them, could destroy a diesel engine? One problem that has been plaguing the owners of diesel rigs for years is cavitation.

 Did you know that up to a third of the heat energy produced by an internal combustion engine ends up as waste heat in the cooling system?

 Internal combustion engines run on heat. Chemical energy in the fuel is transformed into thermal energy when the fuel burns, which produce mechanical energy to push the pistons, spin the crankshaft and drive the vehicle down the road.

 One of the most important parts of the cooling system is also the most invisible
A cylinder head gasket is required to affect a seal between the cylinder head and block of a gasoline or diesel engine. It is an integral component of the engine and is requires to perform many functions at the same time during engine operation.

 Since hydraulic lifters can compensate for thermal expansion of the engine, the adjustments can be made with the engine cold; hot adjustment is not necessary.

 
Remember, when making any adjustments experimentally, that the engine is notably sluggish before it has warmed
up. Unless you are deliberately trying to overcome that problem only assess what you have done with the engine
fully hot
