This thing is crazy (http://people.bath.ac.uk/ccsshb/12cyl/), I think we should swap one into Adam's F150 :thumbs_up:

Yeah those ship engines are pretty ridiculous. Totally different scale, but still huge are the stand alone engines made by Waukesha.

Gotta love engines designed to run for decades without stopping. Some of them can be powered by methane gas from dumps to generate power and other neato stuff.

Looking at those pictures almost makes me think that umpa-lumpa's do exist.

They need to find a coupon from Jiffy Lube that says "Oil Change for $19.95 Any Vehicle!"

Detroit Diesel had an engine in the shop in KC- no oil pan, but 3 plates down each side that were 2' tall and 3' long. 16 cylinders, 4 turbos, and 4 starters. Some of these stationary and ship engines make that thing look like it belongs on a go-kart. When you need a crane to install main bearings I guess that's a sign of really, really BIG!
