Failure Analysis
Failure Analysis
(OP)
Hopefully somebody with some experience of engine failures can help me.
I am looking for a firm that specializes in failure analysis of engine components (cranks, con. rods, etc.)
Has anybody had any experience with such an outfit?
Thank you.

RE: Failure Analysis
In which case, I wonder if Southwest Research (in Texas?) would do? Although I don't think they come cheap.

RE: Failure Analysis
Other case like minor failures, we often refers to the manual. However, some specific OEM of bearings,rods, etc offer their technical support. Why not contact OEM?
Thanks.
RE: Failure Analysis
Southwest Research is the place that we usually use, but they have a vested interest in this particular engine. Thus we would like to use another place
We have been working with the OEM on this type failure before, but so far they have changed a few things, and the problem keeps occuring. This is why I am looking for another failure analysis lab.
Thank you for all of the replies.

Them Aussies just say that to lull you into a false sense of security.
I'll have a dry wit, without the olive in it, thanks.
