We might have a little difficulty fitting it into the engine bay.


New Engine

NZ951

Too much money in their pockets by the look of things! I think we could shave some weight off that crank. Like maybe a few ton.

The picture of 3 guys installing a bearing shell is nuts!

What a beast. I would like to see how they get it out of the plant.

NZ951

Is going going out of the plant? What is it for? Fun?

Mikeaagesen

I was thinking aircraft carrior?

NZ951

It would sink it... I doubt the US government would let pics out of a military engine lol.

Cyrus951

looks like it's from a chinese/japanese plant. Just suppourts my theory of China being the sleeping giant..

NZ951

Dude, China is not a sleepy giant. They are well awake and are the home of thousands of American compaines cashing in on cheap labour. Most every international manufacturing company in the world has outsourced or moved operations to China.

They are building them in place in ships. Pretty hard to move a 2,000 ton engine out of the plant! At least that is what I read at the site. Japan not China.

Makes you want to see the starter and the battery that turns it
