PISTONFAIL
list below for details). Many more have taken place world wide and the numbers
keep growing (well over 200 now!). These failures took place in 6,8,10,12
cylinder models at 1000 hours or less!

for facts, lab reports,chemical and metalurgical analysis, photos, interesting
and enlightning letters, picture album of my 12 cylinder engine after it
exploded violently at 1000 hours with the MAN service representative on board.
Please note, in the last 90 days, I have received over 38,000 hits on my web
site. Because of this huge success, I am working on expanding my site. I have
dug up an incredible collection of signed documents that I will include on the
original letterheads. I promise you some enlightening reading from an
interesting cast of characters! It will include more details about the boats &
brands these failures took place in as well as dozens of testimonials from Man
engine owners. The new site will be up and running by or before the upcoming
january boat show and will be found at the same address.
For your information, the case in Florida against the German Man Co. is not
over yet as Man would lead you to beleive. Florida Man did not accept
responsibility for my Man engines. They did not make them, they did not sell
them to me, therefore they are not responsible in Florida because of privity
laws. But in no way have they addressed the issue of the 200+ failures in
America that I have documented. In no way have they addressed the fact that
they kept selling these engines telling every one they were the best most
efficient, longest lasting engines on the market (10,000-20,000 hours before a
refit) when they knew for years they were having piston failures. These issues
are still in front of the Florida Court to be decided on a claim of
deceptive and unfair trade practices .
We also expect a class action suit to be filed soon in a northern court. We
will keep you informed.
HERE IS THE LIST OF BOAT BRANDS THAT HAVE EXPERIENCED PISTON FAILURES IN 6,
8, 10, 12 CYLINDER MAN MARINE DIESEL ENGINE. This is not the complete list. It
is only the list of those we have found out about this far. Between them, we
have documented well over two hundred (200) piston failures. There must be
many many more. And from what the experts are telling us, the numbers will
continue to grow.

Hatteras.
Group B (4 to 7 failures each)/

On another note, please tell me, is it true that the new MAN management team
has or will be issuing a recall on a number of MAN engines? If so, what reason
was given? When? What boat brands does it cover? Your help is appreciated and
as you know, I keep my sources confidential.

You've run this string too many times in here already. It's enough.
