By the way, that baby produces 108920 bhp @ 102rpm

Bugger!

my 4 extra pistons are a secret no more…

i see 9 cylinders…strange…

Erm… sory, 5! (phew!, I thought I needed glasses)

I reckon there’s one missing at the end too, making 10!

D’you reckon it used carbs or injectors the size of hose pipes!?

Ian

You’re right, it’s 10!

but for the rpm limit it would have to be big flowing and atomizing injectors. Most likely a diesel.

Just imagine the bang in each of the cyls every explosion!

I’d rather not imagine banging in one of THOSE cylinders…

108920 bhp @ 102rpm
