This paper is about condition based maintenance and technical diagnostic on specifically object-cylinder units of two stroke low speed diesel engine MAN B&W 8K80MC-C. It describes: the way of controlling direct parameters (pressure and temperature) taken from the engine, measuring the pressure in engine cylinders via electronic device "PREMET" and visual control of cylinder liners and pistons. Analyzing the data we got clear conclusion about needs of preventive action or possibility of extension of exploitation without maintenance for certain period. Practice confirms that it is possible to extend the period between two overhauls while maintaining engine performance within the limits prescribed by the manufacturer and the values of the parameters obtained on the test drive, as well as reduce maintenance costs.
