While trolling the net I ran across this. :coffee:

Ok, I've found my next engine build. Does anybody know a way of milling out one of those heads on an X2 mill? :lol:

I am a total newbie, but do love machinery...I've one question regarding the engine. How, pray tell, do you start one? I can't imagine there's enough compressed air anywhere. I can't see an electrical starter doing anything. I know they used to use black powder charges to crank old tug engines. Would they use an explosive charge?
Thanks,
Bill

I'd imagine they would start it with another smaller donkey engine, so how would they start the donkey engine you may ask :scratch:
Have fun

Well that's obvious, with another slightly smaller donkey engine :lol:
But then, how do they start that engine?
Well with an even smaller...........
Eventually, with a big enough engine room, the smallest donkey engine gets started by an Elmers #25 wobbler powered by the farts of the ships cat :lol:

Surely must be one HORSE of a donkey engine. Sometime in its life the thing has to be cranked once. I would guess the donkey must be about the 10th largest diesel in the world. :bugeye:
