I wonder if someone has some reliably data and jurisprudence concerning
broken cam shaft on sailboat diesel engine.
I have never seen a cam shaft to snap under normal load. The cam shaft on
my 1GM Yanmar broke in two pieces. Being a drop forged casting it requires
a
fantastic impact to break in two.
Unless it is from an original hair line crack at fabrication that was
not
detected at the time
Wow, that's something. Yanmar makes a very reliable machine from both
personal experience and what I have read about them. Did it get over
heated?
