What was the registry of the vessel? Where were the crew from?
From the precis, it runs against EVERYTHING I ever learnt, from a pimply faced novice to an experienced, ticketed and confident engineer!
Why, oh why, didn't they just "hang" and dead leg the offending piston? They could have blamed "bad weather". Where did the flocking sleeve go? Black humour I admit, but you can imagine a Junior arguing and losing withe the C/E or 2/E,"Where does this bit go? It must go somewhere!".
"Ah!, just throw it in the scrap bin in the workshop, it's not important!"
We had separate spanners and tools for ME/Crankcase work, all by numbers to check nothing went missing. The engine manual and drawings were on hand also to ensure, even though we had done it many times, that we followed the assembly/disassembly as if it were the first time.
My gast is thoroughly flabbered with this woeful and tragic tale.
Thx for sharing!
Rgds.
