Meet a two stroke.
It’s a MAN B & W 11G95ME with 11 cylinders of 95 cm bore (hence the name) and produces 103,000 hp at 80 rpm. Yes, eighty. You could count the revs by yourself if you wanted.
Engine nerds can note that this is a seriously undersquare unit whose stroke is more than three times its bore. Odd things, marine diesels.

Also 6.7 million ft-lb of torque.

Yes, lots of power at very few rpm will do that for you.

11 cylinders, eh? I wonder what that firing order’s like.

Wow, that means it has about 9.16 million Nm, or 6.75 million lb-ft for the people liking the imperial system. Or 4.82 million Nurples, if you’re like Torch.

I wonder if the software can beat an emissions test.

Yes, big diesels can do a lot of twisting. Only 4 or 5 bhp/litre though, but then again they’re more than 50% efficient.

They don’t hardly even sound like ICE engines when running, almost more like a steam engine.

But two strokes have no torque. That'll never work.

Gotta service the valvetrain *opens door*

Yes, big things. They have steps down into the crankcase.

H’mm.
103,000 bhp @ 80 rpm so:
103,000 * 5252/80 = 6,761,950 lbs ft. or 9,167,973 Nm.

Ruining my bad joke with your logic and science and math and stuff.

so my assumption is that each lobe is machined then attached to the rest?

I suppose so as casting a thing like that in one piece (the crankshaft is something like 300 tonnes on the biggest marine engines) would be quite an undertaking.
