    I once saw a ship engine's piston on the Tga wharf. I thought 'that' was big. Amazing read.

    My brother rebuilds the Tauranga Harbour tugboat motors and I thought they were a big unit.
    I think I'm suffering penis envy now.

    Nice. One of my fave childhood memories is hanging out in the engine room of a steam tug watching the gubbings going up and down. I can still smell the oil, coal and steam... ahhhhhh bliss. Much prettier than that thing
    I didn't think!!! I experimented!!!

    I had four and a half years at sea in the merchant marine working on those babies ... they don't turn too quick and their fuel is like tar!
