It not very hygenic to leave your plunger on the kitchen work surface

I’m not entirely sure, but the engine weighs about 245 tonnes, depending on fitment.

Indeed. 96 litres per cylinder, and it was a V16. 500 rpm redline. A tiddler by marine standards.

A proper slow speed diesel will give you valves which make excellent bar stools - a tad heavy, but difficult to tip. Most of our ships had them. just had to cut down the stems and weld on a flat plate for the seat. Couple of hundred kilos if I recall correctly!
