real pistons for real men

[frankiman]

my dad owns a couple International 26 footer trucks

just got the engine out of his 97' (560k kms) rebuilt a couple weeks ago,
picked up the old parts today

the smaller piston is from his truck, 11.6L i6 turbo diesel

but he told the guys at the shop i was into engineering, so they gave him the bigger one,

valves, valve springs, sleeve, piston and connecting pin out of a Caterpillar 3406e engine
Bore ... 137 mm (5.4 inch)
Stroke ... 165 mm (6.5 inch)
Displacement ... 14.6 L (891.00 in3)



that pin is what gets me though, it is freaking huge, weights almost as much has the smaller piston

The Wärtsilä RT-flex96C is a two-stroke turbocharged low-speed diesel engine designed by the Finnish manufacturer Wärtsilä. It is currently considered the largest reciprocating engine in the world, designed for large container ships, running on heavy fuel oil. It stands at (13.5 metres (44 ft)) high, is 27.3 m (90 ft) long, and weighs over 2300 tonnes in its largest 14-cylinder version — producing 109,000 brake horsepower (80,08 MW).

^^ are those off the big mine trucks?

oops i deleted the first picture but i assume it was off something like that
edit pic back up

TORQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111 11111


lol

Basically this is the first thing that came to mind:

Guy on top with the purple PPE yelling at guy down at the crank: "HEY?! DID YOU END UP INSTALLING THAT JUN COLLAR!?"

fuuuuuuuuucking lol

What does you being an engineering student (Toot toot!) have to do with getting bigger pistons lol I dun get it. More junk for your trunk?

[frankiman]

it was to impress me,
impress me it did

i'm collectig a bunch of stuff (crank, vales, pistons, bock, head, etc..) for my future garage "wall of awesome"

Ah, sorry, didn't know you had a garage. It's gonna wind up on the "Horders: buried alive" show lol

"future garage"

It's gonna wind up on the "Horders: buried alive" show lol

hope not, shiit weighs a ton

[Snake556]

Lmao. Well, if he does end up on that show, it won't last long. *Junk collapses* "He was killed instantly" *Credits roll*

Just be sure to have that stuff like, welded to the shelf :P

And I'll take one of those massive engines. Have the first Skyline around with 109,000BHP

you should see the turbo chargers for that engine... you can park your skyline in it
