When the engine order telegraph put the lever command to finished with engine?
Are you asking "What does the position 'Finished With Engine' mean?" If that is the question, the answer is simple. When a ship has been properly secured to a dock, or has anchored, the bridge will notify the engine room that they are done maneuvering and are "finished with engine". On a steam ship, steam is taken off the main turbines and vacuum is usually broken on the main condenser. The jacking gear is engaged and the turbines are allowed to cool down. On a diesel, fuel oil pumps are stopped, cooling water shut down, ect. In each case, the engines will not be immediately available if maneuvering must resume.

Why does hydraulic jack for main engine cylinder head gets stuck while opening?
If you are using the jacks to undo the head nuts you must back the jack off a full turn, pump the jacks up to pressure and you should then be able to back the nut off less than 1 full turn. If the nut is brought up to a stop against the jack and tension is released it will bind. On tightening down you can screw the jack down onto the nut without backing off, as when you tension you turn the nut down and away from the jack.
