Well, first I messed up the order of the paragraphes when I came back from a break and I'm not sure how to fix it without retyping the whole thing, I see my edit came after your first read, sorry. <br /> <br />The reason I brought it up was overmod said earlier that marine engines are tall, and the web site for the worlds largest engine showes an engine with a crosshead design, which is common for marine engines and is the reason that they are "tall". The article gives a reason for using the crosshead design, but in the past I have read that another reason is to have an extremely long or "ultra long stroke", so to help somebody understand why does there need to be such a long stroke, I decided it would be helpfull to explain rod ratio. <br /> <br />I guess it ended up being pretty long winded. <br /> <br />Sorry.
