I done a piston and sleave change on one of our 13,000 hp NG engines today. I took a few pics for a little show and tell.

Sorry guys it 13,000 hp or 9600kw
Hmmm... that seems to be a fairly large piston.
Holy crap that is cool
Can I has the old one????? Pretty please!!!
The piston change took about 4 hours, it very easy considering the size of everything. We have 18 of the of the 34SG engines that are 20 cylinder each.
You can hold it if you can pick it up lol. It weighs about 150lbs
Excuse my spelling this new phone is killing me
That's sick man. My roomie works for centerpoint and he took me through the unionville station in La and it's crazy how big those things are. I could pick it up but just dunno how far I can get with it haha
That's cool!
I wont on to make furniture out of. think of a glass coffers table sitting on two of these chromed

I thought about the coffee table idea but the want everything shipped back to Finland because of warranty. But after that's all over I'm sure I will be able to get some pistons, rods, and valves to make something out of.
thats freaking cool!
btw my 4.8 is become a coffee table like that one above :)
wonder if i could mount that engine in the bed of the truck and do rear engine, rwd like a Ferrari? :burnrub::burnrub::burnrub:
I want that table...its bad azz!
Maybe this can add some insite to how big were talking about. I had to make sure it was ok to post this pic on the web before I did. National securty stuff. If I get some of these parts I will give them out to whoever wants them.

Coming from someone that works in the power industry, that's pretty cool! What's done with the exhaust gas, any waste heat recovery boilers?
Just a simple cycle to the open air.
Pretty unique plant nonetheless.Quote:

I will hit you up but it will be 8 months when they are out of warranty. Everything has to be shipped back to Finland until then. We have a plant in pearsal Texas also just smaller engines.
Yea no rush. Thanks bud
