it'd be a fair old locking kit too

Will that fit your Omega? 

If its inline 6 maybe 

You'll need the K Y's for that job,B for the spring upgrade and jelly to get it to fit in the bay

Is that the engine Mr DTM built with his bare hands 

[Kevin Wood]

My engine's got more cylinders mezzanine floors than yours.

We see those a lot in the freight vessels although the monster engines are slowly dying out in favour of electric propulsion with six plus smaller engines (circa 10MW so 14000 ish bhp).

Reason being its cheaper on fuel with these and the ship is more reliable and has greeter flexibility, plus you can bring engines on/off line as required allowing maintenance, wear levelling and supports running at the most optimum load for max efficiency.

As an example, I had goods going from Italy to South Korea and they are delayed due to an engine failure on the vessel (NYK Orion) which required removal of 25% of the containers to get the engine compartment hatch open to crane spares in!

Funnily enough i was looking at container ships 






Amazed how those things dont topple over , got to be a few thousand tons of cargo
