Title: How about a nice big diesel upgrade?
Post by: thermidorthelobster on April 17, 2007, 23:06:04

This one (http://www.ultimatestupidity.com/pics/1/diesel/) is a whopping 25,480l.  But you'll need a suspension upgrade as it weighs 2,300 tonnes.

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

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

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

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 :wink:

And brake thermal efficiency exceeding 50% :shock:

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!

These are the cylinder heads.

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