Diesel 4: Advanced Diesel Diagnostics / A Conversation with a Master Mechanic

Body
In this final webinar in the diesel maintenance series, instructor Jim Zima digs past the benefits of regular diesel maintenance and looks at those subtle and sometimes not so subtle indications that says, "Something is not right!"

A new smell, a new rattle, a new color in your exhaust can all be telling signs that you need to go looking for a problem. In his new Advanced Diesel Diagnostics webinar master mechanic Jima Zima will show you how to decide if strange smells and sounds are something you can tackle or if it is time to call for help. Also on the agenda for this webinar is a look at what ought to be in a well stocked cruising boat's spare parts kit. In addition, Jim will solicit your questions before and during the webinar. Believing we can all learn from each other's experiences, Jim welcome questions like "There's an occasional squeal in my engine box. I checked my belt tension and it is good. What could this noise be?"
