How different could it be from the diesel engines you work on in your ships? Just take your ship's owners manual and scale everything down about 30:1 and you should be just fine. tanstaafl. _________________________ "There Ain't No Such Thing As A Free Lunch"

Okay quicky on the last engine i sailed with. 26,000Bhp max torque around 230Tons/metre weight 650 tons dry and about 3 stories high. Back to the BMW while doing the empeg install i discover the thing doesn't have a bloody throttle cable it is fly by wire on a 1994 car but it gets 45 to the gallon and is 140 Bhp and shitloads of torque. _________________________ P.Allison fixer of big engines Mk2+Mk2a signed by God / Hacked by the Lord Aberdeen Scotland

tanstaafl. carpal tunnel Registered: 08/07/1999 Posts: 5549 Loc: Ajijic, Mexico	max torque around 230Tons/metre Did I work that out correctly? 140,000 lb-ft of torque? I bet that's a pretty substantial towing capacity... tanstaafl. _________________________ "There Ain't No Such Thing As A Free Lunch"
