Oil absorbent rag in an engine
Posted: September 11, 2022, 7:26 pm
Wonder what happens when someone of a lowest pay grade puts an oil absorbent rag into the brand new rebuilt generator on the ship you just spent 4 weeks making it happen..? You get your new to you engine rebuilt.
Dumb dumb put an oil rag inside the lube oil pump and didn't tell anyone or bother to remove it. We started it up and noticed no oil pressure at the governor which should have taken over.
Fiber bits thru the whole engine. It forces another 5 week rebuild. Main bearings showing signs of FOD.
F it. I am taking leave when I turn this ship back over to the real Engineer Officer.
I was supposed to deploy a month ago...
This was the start of this a few weeks ago
