Saw Supersized Earth on the BBC the other night. Grabbed these screen shots of the engine being put together for this massive container ship being built in South Korea. Some crazy 2 stroke diesel engine with torque figures in the millions of Nm Man what a fooking beast!

Yeah there are 2 episodes and both worth watching. That is in fact the crank shaft and casing they are about to drop it into. Bore size I believe is 90cm and is a very long stroke. CC is huge per cylinder.
