10 Marine Diesel Brands Going Out of Business — 2 Already Shut Down (Check Your Engine Room)

That badge on your block might answer to a different company than the one who cast it, and the block never tells you which.

The real test runs on any badge, living or dead, and it starts with a phone call to whoever is supposed to stock the gasket kit for your exact engine.
