That engine is huge . Am going to come & see it in the summer of 2022. Great work. 👍

[@joseluisvaiksnoras7857]

I found it very strange that the workshop did not have bridge crane to move the engine. The engine was placed outdoors with a common crane and then went to the workshop to finish the work. I' never seen this before.

[@BONESS27001]

The workshop was constructed over twenty years ago on a tight budget that didn't allow for a very seldom required overhead crane. Its not too expensive to hire in a crane from time to time. Thanks for commenting.
