Could this be the same type of engine your referring to: www.depco.com/caterpillar-3412-marine-engines/Seems that I saw these in Vietnam under huge type garages being used as 24 hour generators on our compound. There were 2 of them, one running and the other being serviced (maintenance) mode, then it would be placed back online and the other taken offline for service. I don't recall that they were ever offline at the same time. Man oh man those was some BIG bad boys! |

Talking about cooking, used to carry lunch in an aluminum pan, and set it on the manifolds before lunch and always had a Hot Meal. We had a guy baked a Turkey that way a one time

With the size of that engine, one could cook many turkeys.  |
