Simply incredible!

TBH, as a kid, the most impressive German things I ever saw in person, were the 1972-1973 Porsche 917/30 CAN-AM cars being driven at Riverside Raceway. Roger Penske was the crew chief way back then, and he is still at it in racing. These cars were so fast/powerful, they were outlawed, the following season. Piloted by Americans, Mark Donohue and George Follmer.

This is an amazing feat of engineering and skilled craftsmanship. Awesome 👍

I NEED one of those turbos for my diesel pickup!

Even so it should have been checked for accuracy. My experience with doing business with the Germans is that they are never wrong, and even worse they must never be seen to be wrong.

Clean enough to eat off the factory floor I’m sure that might be an insult in another country but if you had a factory in America that clean, that would be a compliment. That says it all.

It makes me wonder , what was the hugely labour-intensive paint job at the end for ? Most parts are either aluminium , brass , copper or massive steel components , corrosion is not a problem especially in a hot engine room . In fact these engines will never cool down in use so even condensation will not be a problem . I suspect the paint job is just to make it look pretty !

The electric power of a small city, to run the furnaces. BUT, the engines last decades with rebuilds of power units, occasionally, so well worth it.

I like the way they reuse the sand by putting it back to St Tropez

AWESOME = Thanks from 🇺🇸

But the material they cut off is by no means scrap. It will be needed for the next melt... As scrap...

The annoying thing is that the UK used to build ship's engines but our industry suffered from poor management, short termism and a lack of investment. Plus of course a series of governments who just didn't understand or even care about manufacturing.

Exelent video to learn

Each of the cylinders in this v20 engine is bore 10.4" and stroke - 12.4". That's 1,053 ci - like 3 Chevy 350's per cylinder. It makes 13,400 BHP at 1,150 RPM. And uses 633 gallons of diesel fuel per hour!

36:15 is there a gasket for the oil pan?
