Mak v12

my boats tied up in the shipyard, Houma La, sent the crew off.... but I'm the engineer, so gotta keep me here
nothing to do but help the guys at the shipyard, and play with the big engines.

the RS weeks has a v20 Mak.... 10,000hp so I'll assume thats a 6000hp in the pic, I dunno. Still little compared to some I've seen. MAN makes the biggest damn thing, two guys would go into the crankcase, break loose the connecting rod cap, hit it with a sledge and it'd fall into the pan. The crank would push the piston up to tdc. than and only than would they shut down the engine

my company, all the machinery has the same color codings for piping:
light grey = grey water
super blue = cooling water
light blue = potable water
safety orange = lube oil
safety orange with black stripe = waste oil
black = human waste
yellow = diesel
green = sea water/bilge water (with no oil)

makes life REALLY easy for me since if I get transfered I can ID any piping in no time.

thinking about it now....
that blue is weird, super blue is in the back, that light blue might be for aftercooling.
I dunno, I'll talk to the chief of the venture.
