Yep ! The one and only. Was immediately after that incident that we found a fracture in a keyway in the camshaft. Because a replacement was on something like a 9 month delivery we did a workaround by turning the camshaft round and cutting a new keyway. I do remember the the Lloyds surveyor in Hull was very concerned about it and watched the subsequent engine trial from the boat deck! I think that fix may have lasted the lifetime of the ship ?!
