How about a nice big diesel upgrade?

[thermidorthelobster]

This one is a whopping 25,480l.  But you'll need a suspension upgrade as it weighs 2,300 tonnes.

[waveydavey]

I regard that as a proper engine; anything much smaller is little more than a toy.

[AbyssDJ]

Maximum power: 108,920 hp at 102 rpm  

REDLIIIIINE :shock:

So, how long does an oil change take?

[Xtremeteam]

i want to know how big the oul filter is & also if a spin on version is available

I'd like to see the chain wrench used to get the filter off!

[thermidorthelobster]

No, you just stab a 20 foot screwdriver in the side.

didn't Robbie coltrain do a series looking at engines like this and other's??  Mind you i thought this was a good piccie!! 8)  8)

It's got nearly enough neddies.

I think I might have to bash the bonnet around and make up an adaptor plate to fit it in the Dakar, though.

Didn't you get that the wrong way round Andy, I think it should have read:

I bet even the starter on that thing is an animal.

Notice how they avoid piston slap by using a crosshead.  Proper engineering that is

[Range Rover Blues]

And brake thermal efficiency exceeding 50% :shock:

[waveydavey]

50% is pretty outstanding actually.

Crossheads are normal on the big two strokes; one of the many bonuses is that you hardly ever (if ever) need to change the oil. Mind you looking after the oil is a big job as you moniter it continously.

Love the picture; personally I do prefer MAN B&W to Sulzers. I'll see if I can dig out a picture of a Gotherverken; they were wierd; the camshaft was on the outside of the engine!

See if these go in:

[waveydavey]

These are the cylinder heads.

Gotherverken really were mental engines; loads of the moving parts were on the outside.

[richo]

Nice .Do you think that the local halfords doe's a oil filter for it
