We are using EMD-710 engine. We had series of failures of acccesory end gear drive failures, water pump failures, water pump leaking We clould fix a few issues like improper machining of left side water pump elbow and water pump casing leading to gap between water pump and elbow. However, still the problem is not fully resloved. User may share similar experinces and possible remedies.

Thanks.

We have undertaken inspection of gear dampers & will get back after quality check of gear damper is complete.
