      Yep, usually a con rod breaks and knocks a can section out of the block or a counter weight breaks free and is thrown out.

      Depends. Either 420ftlbs for the master rods/375ftlbs with special tooling for the articulating rods. The evos use a torque to degree value and a hydraulic machine.

      Just caught this thread, I work in a similar field. Instead of just the locomotive engine, I work for a complete Train manufacturing company. Loco's, High Speed, LRV's ect..

      Awesome to see someone else in the field on here!!!
