A straight-14 engine is a straight engine with fourteen cylinders. A straight-14 is a very long engine, and therefore only used for large ships.
The only engine of this type known to have been built is a member of the Wärtsilä-Sulzer RTA96-C family. It is a huge 2-stroke Diesel unit for use in container ships. The engine became well-known due to photos taken at the Aioi Works in Japan and spread through blogs.
The 14-cylinder version of this modular engine displaces 25,480 L (1,556,002 in³) with a 38 in (.965 m) bore and 98 in (2.5 m) stroke. The engine is 89 ft (27.1 m) long, 44 ft (13.4 m) high, and weighs 2,300 tonnes (2 300 000 kg). Power output is 108,920 hp (80,080 kW) at 102 rpm. It also produces 5,608,312 ft.lbf (7,603,749 Nm) of torque at that speed.
might be a bit tough to get that thing road worthy...& im not quite sure were i would put the exhaust. Other than that i think it would fit nicely in the back of my beetle... How much again?:P
Its hard to believe the size of these things>>

thats only the baby 10 cylinder.
I reckon the starter motor would have enough torque to drive a kombi just nicely.
I love any engine with a ladder down into the sump.....
Some engineers get all the fun jobs 🙂
I love a monsta diesel. but what if you need more power? does anyone make a stroker crank for it? 😁
