Here's a really big engine, a 12 cylinder inline for use in a container ship.
I believe it turns 101 rpm and develops around 85,000 hp.
Notice a guy standing on the catwalk half way up on the engine.

The second picture is the crank and bed for a 10 cylinder version.

I would like to see all the machine tools that make them. As big as those parts are, the machining has to be done by something bigger.
