Things That Make Me Go HMMMM.

As a life long mechanic, looking at this absolute BEHEMOTH of an antique engine, I wonder how in the hell did they torque the huge bolts down on this thing?

Take the connecting rod cap bolts for example.

Did they take a team of horses, hook up a chain to a giant wrench and then have them pull on it until some guy up top yelled CLICK?!

Now I am going to have to look into that when I get home from work because it’s going to bug me all day because I don’t recall ever seeing a twenty foot, three inch drive torque wrench anywhere in my internet travels over the years….
