New inboard engine!!

[Peter J Fraser]

Take a look at this lil puppy. Sulzer ship's engine <br />My son in UK sent this to me a couple of days back. I think he was hoping too much that I could fit it into my boat.<br /><br />Regards<br />Peter F

I don't think I'd get much cruising done burning $3200 US/ in fuel per hour.<br />

Now, when these guys say they need oversized rings, they really mean it.

Good thing diesels don't use spark plugs!<br />I wonder how big the glow plugs are(if it has any).<br />What kind of starting system could they use to get that behemoth started up? Another big diesel engine for a starter? What must the compression be? Wow

Hi all,<br />Most of these ships engines use compressed air at about 3000psi timed & shot straight into the cylinder to crank them over. No gearbox used.<br />They change over the valve timing and reverse the engine rotation to go astern. <br />Different world with these things isnt it.<br /><br />Regards<br />Peter
