R975 Radial engines

[Malcolm Towrie]

That carnage looks horribly familiar!

Amazingly, our crankcase looked intact though dye penetrant may have shown some cracks.

And that bell-mouthing of the lower liners as the rods thrash around makes it very difficult to pull the cylinders.

While this engine will provide a few spare parts, I see its future as a coffee table! Not much need to check cracks with this beauty, and, yes it is the worse and most smashed up radial I have ever encountered.
