For those of you who think they have a powerful inline, how about this one? 108,920 hp & 5,608,312 lb/ft torque at only 102 rpm. It is a Wartgila-Sulzer RTA96-c turbocharged inline with a 38"bore and a 98" stroke or 111,143 cu in or 1820 liters per cyl. or 1,556,002 cu in. It is a 14 cyl engine that at its most efficient setting only burns 1660 gallons of fuel per hour. It is small at only 89 ft. long and 44' high weighing a mere 2300 ton. The crank shaft alone weighs 300 ton. This engine has in excess of a 50% thermal efficiency which makes in very fuel efficent. The design requires 2 conecting rods between the crank and the piston with a slider in the center due to the long stroke small bore, it also uses pistons with special oil injectors to keep them from melting.

If the 14 cyl is to big for you it is available in six cyl version.

Wonder what would be the flat rate time would be for a full rebuild.

And what do they torque the head studs with?

The rebuild should be fast and cheap because any GOOD machine shop can handle a 300 ton crank and has a 38" boring bar, Right
Can you picture even handleing the inserts for some thing that large. I think it might force me to buy some larger tools. I wonder what the injection nozzels are like.
