I had the turning device controller in my hand.

thank god that you did and no one else.. how many tonnes of hydraulic pressure do you need to stretch the rod bolts? the ruston v16s call for 25

[DieselEngineering]

815 bar for the 2 bottom studs & 600 bar for the 2 lateral (side) studs

I wonder if you do the same thing in an EMD 16-710...

[DieselEngineering]

You could if your knee high to a grasshopper.

@CoryMcwinburn anywhere from 8,000liters up to 75,000liters. Usually runs on MobilGuard 300 in the sump and a cylinder oil such as Shell Alexia LS in the liners. Usually the same brand is used for both oils but I'm drawing a blank on ExxonMobil's cyclinder oil names.

How much oil does one of these monsters require?

[DieselEngineering]

Yeah right, maybe the other way round.
