Alright, I know this isn't TR-related, but it's so damn cool, I just
knew most of you would marvel at it. Imagine an engine with cylinder
bores of over 3 feet, and stroke over 8 feet. Each cylinder is 1820
LITERS (as in, 1.8 million cc's), and you can have up to 14 cylinders
(25.5 BILLION cc's), at which point you're generating 108,920 hp and
over 5 and a half MILLION lb/ft of torque. Oh yeah, and it turns at a
leisurely 102rpm. Check out the pictures. Yeah, I always use 3 guys
and a CRANE when installing main bearings... And for God's sake, look
at that crank! Awesome.
