Sunday I spent in the company of a couple of seafaring men. One of
them had changed pistons moret than once while at sea on a Boxford
Marine Engine. About the same bore and stroke but not as many
cylinders. The Boxford was/is an opposed piston engine. Originally
designed to run on #2 diesel. The ones he worked on had been modified
to run on bunker fuel after starting on #2.
The bunker fuel gunked up the rings. They could cut out individual
cylinders, but of course lost power doing that.
