[QUOTE="passenger0_0, post: 174174, member: 208"] Reflecting on a similar experience, many years ago I worked for the MOD as a vibration analyst, benchmarking new rotating equipment, including turbines, generators, ICEs, etc. ... Had a few embarrassing moments when I had diagnosed potential impending doom in typically 40+ year old equipment, only to find everything was fine when stripped down.. From these experiences, my thoughts now are that oil triboligy, vibration analysis, and other 'high-tech' diagnostic techniques are best suited to modern machines and tolerances. Some things are best left alone. [/QUOTE]
