Thread: Hourmeter

Standard service intervals for marine diesels, 100 Hrs.

Hammering away all day and night at near top RPM, flung around in side the vessel, oil staved then oil flooded alternately from side to side.

Main engines, generators, ships boats engines, emergency gear, all 100 hourly service times.

White Trucks used an arbitrary figure of 30 miles = 1 hour. You could always fit an hour meter with an oil pressure activated switch in the circuit.
