If I remember correctly in our AMEC course was that the BoT solution was to reduce to dead slow and increase the cylinder lubrication. It was also taught that this was guaranteed to make the problem worse as the luboil feeds the fire. Never saw one in life but then only sailed proper on three motor ships.
