Yes, they were monsterously problematic, with muchas scored cylinders and engine failures. Several subs had to have the things replaced. Was that the Fairbanks Morse engine? Whichever manufacturer it was, they were trouble with a capital "t." Wish I recalled the book that told of the problem or the submarine it was about but I'm drawing a blank right now.
