...... and did they bother to tell you that was only half of the completed engine, that they made it in two parts so it could be open roaded to the dry dock?

Here is the completed installation in the ship's engine compartment. Did they mention that they put the keel down, layed down a engine plate then parked the two parts of the engine on the keel/engine plate assembly?

Then they finished building the ship around it once the engine was in place?

That they can actually take one cylinder out of service at a time while the rest of the engine stays running to do maintenance? They do this by disconnecting the piston rod from the cross head? That people actually go stand inside the crank case to perform certain maintenance activities?

Did you know this was a two stroke diesel engine that is VERY efficient and it burns a mix of crude oil and waxes that is only one refining step away from crude oil?

That car engines could be build this way (in minature) ...... ????

Shocked

I still wouldn't want it, I've driven 2 stoke diesels.
