3. Corrosion
Corrosion can occur at the bottom of the valve plate when engines operate for a long
time (e.g. in rough weather conditions).
If the corrosion is less than or equal to 12 mm (see Fig. 2), the valve spindle can be
repaired.
Note: The repair procedure can only be done in a Wärtsilä Switzerland Ltd
authorized repair workshop.
Valve spindles cannot be repaired when the corrosion is more 12 mm, but can
continue to operate until the corrosion has a depth of 25 mm.
