Engine failure , why we had to rebuild our 8V71TA Detroit Diesel after 625 hours

Here is what we found out after tearing into our 8V71TA 2 stroke Detroit Diesel that was rebuilt only 14 months , or 625 hours ago.

Since having it rebuilt in January 2019, we experienced loss of power( less than before the rebuild) , oil leaks, blowby( oil coming out the breathers) low turbo boost, and multiple turbo failures.

What caused all of this, 2 things, first the fuel system was not pressure tested, leading to damage to bearings and turbo. Second the liners were too small for the engine bores.
