Here's a setup for a big stroker motor! 😄 Actually that's a rod and piston from a 1000' Great Lakes freighter, the Mesabi Miner. My friend took this picture, he's a wheelsman on the boat. They are currently docked at the Soo Locks repairing an engine. They cracked a cylinder liner and wiped out two rod bearings. One of the engineers told him the rod cap weighs 167# !!!!! The ship has two 16 cylinder engines, each hole produces 500 h.p.!!!!

I'd need a bigger engine stand!  :lol:
