So what are the tolerances for the crank journals? + or - 1/16th"?
Give a boy a gun-give a biatch a cell phone-and pretty soon you almost got yourself a police state.

I think - as long as your hand does not get stuck in between them...
Did you see that max power RPM? My g-dotter's gerbil can spin his wheel faster than that!

I guess these big ships run on bunker oil...which is some unrefined sludge kind of stuff...a big source of CO2 and pollution.

You can see why they'd want to separate the cylinders from the crank as far the lube oil used.

I've camped on a ship channel down in Brownsville TX when some of the larger ships came thru...some of them totally vibrate the air as they go by...and they were just idling along....and probably weren't that big a ship.
