■■■■■■■■ made in the U.S.A? I doubt it was originally made to be a generator so what would it have been in originally?
V8 twin turbo by the way.
Now that’s what i call an engine!!
Starboard Diesel Engine Of The Cunard White Star Liner Georgic
Not sure if from a Lorry. Could be an old Locomotive Engine.
Generators wouldnt need 760 Bhp
thought it could be a boat engine given the size, but boat engines are water cooled, not air. looks more like a big dumper/quarry truck vehicle, and if you google ■■■■■■■ dumper truck engine theres a few pics that look very like it.

WOW These pistons and crank are impressive.
Wowzers!
The most powerful compression ignition engine currently in service powers the E class container ships of Maersk Line the first of which was MV Emma Maersk.
With a shaft output of 101,000 BHP these 14 cylinder engines power a single shaft propellor

Wonder if my local halfords could supply the oil for a service? [emoji15]
Be a bit of a job balancing that crankshaft!

That would depend on the output of the generator, and one of our generators on board is driven by an air cooled Dorman for use on berths where it dries when the tide goes out.

Must be one helluva torque wrench to do the big end caps too!

Why wouldn’t it be an original build generator. Plenty about, might have been a standby generator for a hospital or office block.

Its no where big enough to be a locomotive engine!
Standby gen sets can have engines as big as you need it to be.

That engine in the video incidentally was also fitted to locomotives, the EMD SD90MAC to be precise and its about 140 LITRE, 5000 HORSPEOWER.
I have a V12 ■■■■■■■ for sale at the min ,it’s a 450 kva .

Could be, Class 08’s only had a 350hp engine.
