The cylinder bore is just under 38" and the stroke is just over 98". Each cylinder displaces 111,143 cubic inches (1820 liters) and produces 7780 horsepower. Total displacement comes out to 1,556,002 cubic inches (25,480 liters) for the fourteen cylinder version.

Oo. Oo. Oo.

Truly amazing. The size of everything is mind-boggling. That crank is a work of art... . Wonder how they made that thing? Forgings welded together or a huge casting... . I doubt it's billet... . haha

 

[AMink]

Need to get some 2gsk's on there to bump it up to 200 rpm!

 

[Cummins Pilot]

What the heck do they use to start that thing?!?!

 

[AMink]

Two big gerbils in a wheel at the end of the crank! :-laf
