Went to get a couple of cylinder heads today and the guy had two of these in the shop. Forgot to take a photo so found one on the net.
Napier Deltic T9. About 6ft high. Similar to the loco engine but less cylinders. The thing he was telling me that I found really interesting was that they’d come from a Hunt class minesweeper so there’s no magnetic metals in them. Blocks are aluminium but the cranks, rods, camshafts, liners and fixings are all stainless steel.
