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!
