EACH cyl is over 111,000 cubic inches. More torque than a Valk!! Comes in 6 to 14 cyl versions. But will it do the nickel trick?  |

That is one big motor. Most impressive. But more torque than a Valk? Are you sure? Do you have dyno numbers to back up this claim?  We trudge on. |

the engine hp is at its optimal at 105 rpm. lug lug lug. It is the single engine for the container ships that ship everything from China to us and then go back empty.

It would be interesting to see the crosshead slides and underside of the mid block to see how the top half of the mains go in. See how the piston bolts stright to the rod?
Not sure if that is a true exhaust driven turbocharger or a gear driven centrifugal blower on the side.

"The Wartsila-Sulzer RTA96-C turbocharged two-stroke diesel engine is the most powerful and most efficient prime-mover in the world today".
Can you believe that big mutha is a two-stroke??
