I've got a cousin that has worked on the smaller 8 and 10 cylinder versions of these engines!!!!!
he said you actually open a big door and walk into the engine's crankcase to do maintinence on them........

The had a smaller 8 cylinder engine being used offshore on a rig to pump natural gas to shore, they shut it down for servicing and when they re-fired it,it back fired and bent the crankshaft,they found a good used one for 1.2 million bucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!
