Bent a piston rod

[SilentScope]

They almost look photoshopped. Now imagine how big the machines are that MAKE those engines. Unbelievable.

Oh, and that Rod obviously bent because the ship had a fog light delete.

 

[INTRUDER]

Yup, fog lights always fuck up ricers

 

[alexthejew]

gzmo was probably driving when the rod bent

 

[1FastS197]

okay so i have to ask... what kinda power do these things make? how much boost?

 

[BMWM3]

fuck the power and torque those things make think about the fuel needed for the combustion chamber. or imagine the size of the fuel pump. , or even the alternator

 

[fdjizm]

Is there a machine that can even bend that rod outside of the engine lol

 

[NjsGT]

holy shit... wonder what the block looks like..... must be pretty cool...

We USED to be the world's leader in those huge machines, right by me in LaGrange, ill. is the GM Electromotive plant, i think they only rebuild now.
I make chuck jaws for these guys, for holding pistons almost as big as our entire engine!
Once you start those giant motors, they never shut them off, even when changing oil. So a railroad motor will run for over 1 million miles, ideally, before it's shut down. Our forefathers had this art figured out decades ago!

Ship's Turbo!! It would take the whole Texas Mile to get that bitch spooling!!

This engine is out of the Emma-Maersk, a Container Ship. It's a two stroke Turbo Diesel that makes 109,000!! Horse Power and over 5 million torque!!!!

Look on the back side of the engine to get some idea of how big those turbo's are.

But that bent piston makes more sense when you realize how much torque is going through an engine of that size! Awesome picture of that bent rod!

Crazy! Engine from the Emma Maersk from Wiki.
