Check out THIS Piston!!
My boss gave me this as a paper weight...yeah right, this thing is huge!! It measures 3 1/2 inches tall (95mm), 5 inches in diameter (135mm!!)...hell, the wrist pin is 40mm!! This is from an aircraft he said but he can't recall which kind. Any Ideas Snw?

Now thats a pistion for ya. Damn thats crazy but I mean have you seen the size of the turbochargers on prop planes?!?!?!
|
looks like a good desktop coaster to me!
|
looks like my friends piston he has.... cant remember what its from. his is diff color though. however im sure a bunch of aircraft pistons look alike :D pretty sure his was from a p-51 though. its a hellabig piston.
|
thats not that big, at school, theres one that i can hardly pick up...not really but that shits from like a locamotive or some shit....its a beast, next time i think aboot it i'll take a pix. Its like 15" wide by 12" tall.....30 pounds or so....
|
that things not far off a Merlin piston size (engine in P-51) they are about 5 1/2" bore.
|
I wish my boss could remember what it came out of. He said he use to work on airplanes a long time ago and that he got it a long time ago. I would not mind having 6 of these in my L28E...but I am afraid they would be just a hair too big for the block :paranoid:

Wow Talk About A Change Of Topic... It Looks Like It Might Have Come Out Of A Corsair.

My boss still can't recall what plane it came from...but still, at 5" in diameter I bet it sounded cool. |

Doesnt look much like a radial piston...hmmm |
Update
My boss told me he is now pretty sure this piston came from a Pratt & Whitney Radial engine...somewhere in the 1300 range if that makes since to any of you aircraft people.
|
so, why is it everytime there is a pic of you that you look like the smirking smiley with the shades?????????
|
1300's were Wright engines...could be a PW wasp series though...
Looking looking...bore 5 3/16 " |
