i want to see the turbos as well.



they must be huge, like 10 feet high or somthing.

i have been kinda studying the engine, and realised that its only got 10 rod journals. how is it a 14 cylinder then?



the other thing, is look at the stroke, its rediculously small for such a large engine, this would mean the conrods are truely massive and the stroke needs to be small to keep the rotating inertia to a low ammount. speaking of which, the picture of the conrod, im wondering if thats really what it is. im wondering because i dont see a wrist pin on the piston, i dont see a U shaped surface for a bearing on the low end either. im starting to wonder if that conrod picture even belongs with the other pictures. perhaps its a piece of machinery (hydro ram piston?) that isnt even part of the original engine or series of pictures.



the more i look, the more i think the conrod picture isnt part of the engine. how could the lower end mount, or rotate around the crank? the 2-stroke nature of this engine is evident by the fact that each "sump" around each journal of the crank is kept as small as possible. true to the theory of the 2-stroke nature. but the lower end of the conrod doesnt "look" like it would be able to be swung around in the crank case.

It's a ship engine.



My pictures seem to be gone, guess they didn't appreciate hotlinking, boo https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...>/rolleyes.gif



I found the home page for this engine, it is at http://www.wartsila.com/english/index.jsp?...3;1056051426944



(oi that's a long link, hope it works)



Stroke is 2500mm, roughly eight feet. Couldn't find a pic of the turbos.
