Diesel Generators

1. How is a DG serviced?
2. In this situation, we have an auxiliary engine where the exhaust valves are broken. How do you act in case we have a back-up valve, what are the checks you need to do before installing the back-up valve?
3. Why is it necessary to check the valves regularly. In this situation: we have an auxiliary engine for which the valves have been set to 0.3, after a period of operation, the value suddenly increases to 0.5, what are the causes and what can happen if it continues to operate like this?

10. Why do we have high viscosity in the lubricating oil of a DG, what are the causes?
11. What can be the cause of temperature rise on all cylinders of a DG.
12. What can be the cause of temperature rise on one of the cylinders of a DG.
