Ainspection covers should not be opened until the engine has cooled
Bscavenge pump should be immediately secured to prevent loss of lube oil
Cventilation system should be continued in operation for one hour for cooling
Dexplosion covers should be opened slightly to provide extra ventilation
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) inspection covers should not be opened until the engine has cooled. When a diesel engine experiences piston seizure due to severe overheating, the crankcase can become pressurized. Opening the inspection covers before the engine has fully cooled could result in a sudden release of that pressure, which could be dangerous. It's important to allow the engine to cool down gradually to prevent any potential explosions or injuries. The other options are incorrect as they do not properly address the safety concerns associated with a seized, overheated diesel engine.
