    A retired mechanic that didn't overhaul and repair the small stuff, but engines that ranged from 7,000 cu. in. to turbocharged 2,000 HP at 300 RPM. I have no idea of Cu. in. of those but they were 2 cycle and i could slide down into the cylinder to chip carbon from the ports.

    I won't say the thread is worthless without pics, but pics of those engines would be fun to see.

    Welcome from LA (Lower Alabama)! And I have written programs to control large industrial motors, but those sound like large marine motors!

    *********************************************************
    Research 7042 V 12 Waukesha for a pic of the smaller engine that runs approx. 1,000 r.p.m. The pic of the larger TLA Clark is by no means the largest engines made. There are engines at least 2 X that size. The turbocharger on the big fellow is too much load for a 1 ton flat bed to haul.

    In this instance they were crank shaft integral driving natural gas compressor pistons .
