Images of large ship engine construction in japan. Maximum power: 108,920 hp at 102 rpm Maximum torque: 5,608,312 lb/ft at 102rpm http://people.bath.ac.uk/ccsshb/12cyl/ I think it was here before but well worth reposting. Karl Sunday I spent in the company of a couple of seafaring men. One of them had changed pistons moret than once while at sea on a Boxford Marine Engine. About the same bore and stroke but not as many cylinders. The Boxford was/is an opposed piston engine. Originally designed to run on #2 diesel. The ones he worked on had been modified to run on bunker fuel after starting on #2. The bunker fuel gunked up the rings. They could cut out individual cylinders, but of course lost power doing that.
