Seriously large stuff...
 

Time for a crank-shaft upgrade... No its not a photo-chop. Just really big.
Found it when snooping around for the worlds largest machines.
Its from the worlds largest engine, made for ships.
Different models from 6 to 14 cylinders with a max output of
80,080kW at 102rpm. Far out !

wow!!! wot is that out of?

Its out of one of those gigantic oil tankers. Old news though, I have seen this posted up on so many forums years ago.


Do you think I could slot it into my Liberty? :D

That pic never ceases to amaze me!

I wonder how the clearances are measured in those things? Probably in Centimetres!

Even still, I bet some Perth workshops would probably still get it wrong by about a metre or two ;)

Love the ladders going down into the crankcase...

Would need a big verniers, and micrometer for that one!

haha makes those guys look like oompa loompas

Wonder if you could put a HUGE turbo on it hahaha that would be awesome!!!
