Is that a locomotive?

They use then in locomotives but this is connected to a gen set.

I have a few oaks that unfortunately got bent and broken when this was logged before I bought it.


I opted to take them out.

So what caused that kind of carnage?

 

[Marshy]

We are in the process of figuring it out. Crank is not damaged (bent) though so thats a small win. The rod journal can be machined undersized with it in place. Should be interesting. The idea of grinding a journal inside the machine gives me nightmares though. Stone dust and scarf all over.

Yeah grinding on a crank in the block sounds brilliant!

Apparently it's more common than you would think with ther larger engines. With 20 cylinders taking the crank out for machining is always an option.

A few years back we had a guy let a car leave with no oil in it. Came back on a tow truck locked up. Service manager had me pull the oil pan and a man cap. Mains looked fine but the rods where gone. Had me emory cloth the rod journals and put new rod bearings in it. Could not believe it. That car started right up just as quiet as could be. Drove the crap out of it and gave it back "repaired". We never put an engine in that car but didnt mean someone didnt down the road.
