How do you feed over 8,000 litres of fuel per hour @ flat strap?

Not to mention that every revolution would suck in over 25,000 litres of air, at 100rpm thats 2.5 million litres per minute.

Where do you put an intake like that so it doesn't suck in nearby islands?

I want to see the size of the torque wrench and the bloke that tensions up the heads. Hercules? Atlas? Arnie?

See the steps that go down into the crankcase.... imagine the amount of oil needed at a service?

I daresay its dry sumped.

I seem to remember seeing this engine on Foxtel a couple of years back. Hyundai make similar engines too, funnily enough.

You didn't even think to mention Chuck Norris?

Who do you think made Hercules and Atlas into myth, huh? And who do you think made Schwarzenegger into Governor? of CALIFORNIA no less. He WAS running for Texas.
