Yeah they had that posted in a mag last month I was it at the book store its crazy how large they are

I was lost in the pictures @ first, then I started being able to place the different assemblies and it blew me away. Now I'm curious what these ships look like that are running the big motor.

i knew i was missing something in my diesel. Though i have seen some bigger they were not as long as that one.

By the words seen i meant in pictures. I'm wondering the longetivity of such engines, as the tolerances can't be that tight with that size

hahaha like 6" of play around the piston is a good fit :D naw I bet that thing is tight like a 12 year old!

until i looked at the pics, what i was thinking of big has changed

how in the hell do they transport the engine

[roundeye]

You could probably get sucked in the intake manifold and shot out the exhaust in that thing. Of course, you'd be a different color. :)
