I feel especially dumb since the engine i was there to learn was the Continental V-12, though the Aberdeen people rated the engine at 1500 hp / continuous operation (the cont v-12 they used in the tank) and it had not near the scream of the tank retriever. To be argumentative, in military application's , they can apply whatever turbo-boost needed for a given situation in certain vehicle's. Doing so might drastically shorten engine life, but completing the task outweighed that factor. And, the military is a bit shy about releasing info on maximal capability of any of their equipment. If I'm not mistaken for many year's the Greyhoud Bus ran the Continental V-12, listed at 750 horsepower. But, at any rate, the 1500hp m60 tank cont v-12sounded a baby next to the tank retriever with it's google-searched 750hp cont v-12. So, respectfully, my basic's are accurate.
Now, if I can only get that thrust pin out to replace the tension rail on my 220d.
