This is too big for my tractor !! web page
<font color="blue">Total engine weight: 2300 tons (The crankshaft alone weighs 300 tons.) At maximum economy the engine exceeds 50% thermal efficiency. </font> Is there a formula to figure out what thermal efficiency a CUT runs at?

Pretty amazing.

I think there was a post about this, oh maybe, a year ago.

Makes you wonder though, how much oil is needed for an oil change.

There was something on one of the discovery channels about this. think it may have been mega machines ships. They build them in up to 14 cylinder versions. there used in ships and maybe other stuff. Very interesting if you can find it.

How do they put that in the ship or do they build the ship around it?

It's awesome to see an engine so big that it has multi level decks attached to it with guard rails on them.
I would hate to be near by if it threw a rod!
