37294 startup 13th Feb 2010

Here we have 37294 starting up for the first time this year,she hasnt been started since last years diesel gala so after filling her with water and repairing a few minor water leaks (loose jubilee clips) we pressed the button and this is what happened,"A" bank looks very smoky and its white suggesting either the timing is out on this bank or a few injectore need swopping,saying that once warm everything clears up,the hissing you can hear is an unseated decompression valve which probably happened because we cracked them all open to do a pre startup engine bar over to check for cylinder water ingress but none came out so we tightened them all back up but one seemed to be leaking,it has since been repaired,enjoy
