World largest engine

Wow this is some engine!

Wow, look at the size of the flywheel, I bet its a twat of a job pushing the clutch pedal down, lol

I'm sorry but it is pretty obvious that it is not a practical Truck engine, The drive to the truck that it is powering is presumably through a cassette gearbox in the base of the engine and then into a Power take off but because of its bulk the prime mover has only enough load space for a wheel and tyre,

Yeah, and just imagine trying to jump start it too Mind you, you would have to have webbed feet to do it, and an aversion to green kryptonite!

Jarndice, the bit about the clutch pedal was meant as a joke,

Just imagine the noxious emissions from this big b*stard! Mind you, you'd have a bit a struggle putting an MOT probe down one of the funnels, to get a reading

[jarndice]

Does that mean that VW wont be putting it through their engine foundry?
