think this one might give rod a run for his money, might have to stretch the cossy chassis a bit to get it in but like they say anythings possible

The biggun is in Emma Mersk ....

To tighten the head's ... They use hollow Rams .. Pre tension the head down and spin the nut's on hand tight ...

Dont be forgetting the Turbo-chargers ..

ABB currently make the biggest .. TPL 91 is the biggest in production.

I got two words for this..
EXTREME ENGINEERING.

Amazing, I wonder how they balance that crank xD and I think someone should hook one of them TPL91 turbos up to their 4 cylinders xD

If thats a billet crank, Imagine the size of the lathe to spin it down and center it and then theres the grinders. Car engines are hobby engines compared to this.
