Reasons for slippage occuring in built up crankshaft and how they are detected.

Reasons for slippage- if starting air is applied to cylinder when they contain water or fuel or turning gear engaged, constrained propeller, rapid unscheduled stop.

Slippage can be detected by checking the reference marks.
Slippage may result in alteration of timing, inefficient operation,

Why atomisation test should not be done in slide type fuel valves

Since very small needle lift is obtained in the test equipment result in an unequal pressure distribution in the cut off shaft resulting in a hard contact in a small area along with high frequency oscillations, low lubricity of test oil will increase the chance of seizure. Full lift and high lubricity of heavy oil eliminates this risk  of seizure during normal operation.( Always open and clean slide type valves before testing as cold sticky heavy oil along with small clearances can cause restriction in the movement of the spindle).
