Was this engine ever used in a marine application??

Failures are no different than any other engine, just wear and tear and old
age. There are heat related issues such as cracked heads and blocks, fuel
system issues as well same as with any diesel injection system. The
cracking issues revolved around increasing the displacement up to 6.5 l. and
turbo supercharging it to produce more power without properly addressing
heat. The engines are very successfullly used in marine and stationary apps
also. If the engine is run with the coolant temp not over 200 the engine is
very reliable, above that your taking your chances.

compression and die that way or ????
cooling issues seem to be related to lousy radiators, etc, not
necessarily the engine itself.
