Huge Piston

Huge Piston

This particular piston and rod is from an engine manufactured in 1944 and was used for marine propulsion (navy battleship). The bore is 21.500" with a stroke of 29.00". This engine runs at 225 rpm and produces approximately 1,500kw at 2,000 h.p. This piston and rod assembly weighs in at a mere 4,000 lbs.
