Good stuff eh lizzie, imagine the oil tunning down your arm on that job when you undo the sump plug. 

Indeed S, you could drown!!

Just LOVE the vid of the Hurri and Spit! Brings me out in goosebumps whenever I hear Merlins (or Griffins).

Loved the bit where the Hurri is doing the pass over the people on the hill, I was thinking 'they wouldn't be waving if those 8 Brownings opened up!' - then I saw it was cannon-equipped! 4 x 20mm?

The P51 was just an averagely good ground-attack aircraft with its Allison engine. It didn't REALLY 'fly' until they dropped the Merlin into it!

As I think a number of you will know, I love large engines and heavy engineering in general.   The sight of a strong, powerful and pulsating 'very male' is very appealing and exciting 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-).

Well in my search for the world's biggest diesel engine I have found a great site.  Just look at those beautifully machined parts!!

Enjoy!

PS  Please try and forget this engine is of course made by a Japanese country!! 

Steady on Lizzie.....

Debs............
Why have you got a canard on your avatar? do you fly?

Yes, I have a PPL and that`s my own LongEz (heavily modified from Burt`s design) built by myself.

I heard a LongEz get refused permission to land at Lasham on Sunday while I was winch driving. Wasn't you, I hope?

Thats one hell of a thing to have to maintain too......wouldn't like to have the job of doing the m.o.t on that beastie!

I've been working on a power upgrade for one of our engines recently.

delivers 850HP at idle and 1500 HP at full chat
..... with 3100hp available for very short bursts.

Sounds like a handy deforestation tool.
