Socket is under the turbo air filter top right. Check size compared to the ladder spacing..... Big bits for little hands with a 35 foot stepladder in the crankcase if required....

Roughly 12 to 14k horse, direct drive to the propellor shaft, 2 stroke 6 cylinder diesel. 110 revs flat out - thats one hundred and ten - and 35 revs at dead slow ahead/astern with compressed air start. Turbo compressor turns circa 150k revs plus, weighing in around the 6 tonne mark.

Happy days! Grin
