Looks like a Fairbanks-Morse those things leak oil,like theres no tomorrow


true dat...I worked on the 16 cylinder-opposed piston-big dawgs-attached to my generators for years. ALWAYS leaking.

FE, you're right, the forced induction Colt-Pielstick engines in the bottom of our diesel amphibious ships are hawses. I'm 6 foot-210 and can stand inside the cylinder without my head poking out. We used to go "sump diving" to get it wiped out by hand when we had to take it down for oil contamination. Good times!
