    Ive seen those things (well not that one but a ships diesel which is still scary big....)

    the head bolts get angle torqued...

    By about 5 blokes on a cat walk on the end of a spanner about 12 feet long. (and even then they sometimes get a cheater block and tackle.)

    That certainly IS a Diesel

    Reminds me of one on a smaller scale. HMAS Tobruck has two 6 cylinder diesel engines. One time when I was on board, one of the engines blew a head gasket.

    Not a lot of trouble to change, as each cylinder has it's own head. They simply shut down the offending engine and remove the head. An over head crane lifts it off. The head nuts are huge and each cylinder has the same capacity as the old Holden Blue six.

    It was interesting to watch.

    I have seen photos of the rest of that Korean built Sulzer. The lower half of the crankcase has ladders inside at each main bearing bulkhead. The crankshaft is simply enormous and I would love to have watched the machining. It is machined all over. There was a photo of three guys handling the bottom half of a main bearing shell into the crankcase, one holding each end, and one supporting the middle. The pistons are in several pieces with a forest of studs holding them together.

    The last marine engine I worked on was in 1987, in an ocean going tug which had a Mirlees, Bickerton, and Day as main engine. 36" bore and 42" stroke and seven cylinders. Built in Stockport, Lancashire, 1932.
