You think you've got a BIG piston, uh?

[Fubar]

Check out this dinner plate. Fish was working on a motor with pistons that have a 6 inch diameter. I put the gun down there because it seemed like a good size reference. I also wanted you guys to know I was hard core.



Oh, by the way, the black cylinder to the left is not a small LED flashlight... it's the piston pin. THE FREAKING PISTON PIN :eek

Be advised there's a SHIP ENGINE being manufactured that has pistons/rods/cylinders so large a person literally needs a LADDER to climb in and out of its cylinders. Literally! I'm not exaggerating! The thing is H-U-U-U-U-U-G-E!!!!!!

Sorry about the bad link.

It will actually go into a 4 banger that is expected to produce almost 1000hp per cylinder.

LOL, you read my mind I thought that was a flashlight.

Fubar.....I own a hwy construction/land development business and as such I deal with big-iron everyday ( think D-10 , D-11 Cat Equipment) Some of the the service and replacement parts are truly amazing....in fact, I've been making car-guy garage furniture out of some of the smaller items for some time as a hobby (cam shafts, timing gears etc.) At some point I'll figure out how to upload to this site and post some pic's ! I have a line on some used-up pistons from the Oil Sands in N Alberta that are the size of 5 gall pails. I think they will make some cool bar stools !

Now that would be cool on the order of the Ford 289 powered chain saw or the BBQs made out of small block Chevys (better if they were Fords but who cares if they sacrifice a Chevy :biggrin)
