Here’s the legendary Caterpillar Sixty back in the field, doing what it was built for. No electronics, no fancy buttons—just raw diesel power and engineering from a different era.

Hell. Seems like each piston is the size of a 2 L bottle. Much quieter than I would thought it would be.

Yeah, much larger than a 2-liter bottle. However my straight-six 15L diesel does have cylinders with 2.5 liter capacity and they also make a 13L engine which does in fact have cylinders with just over 2-liters of displacement so the commenter I replied to was not that far off.
