You didn’t ask for it, But is there any reason not to share this unit of absolute proportions?

917 Flat-12 is always appreciated.

There’s a cool YT vid of a 917 starting up for the first time in decades.

That looks complicated yet very orderly.

T he lower one is from a 917-1 0. Some 91 7-10s used that massive set of pressure relief valves but most didn’t have them. Some regulation was likely the reason for this.

A 917-30 used intercoolers but the engine is still pretty much the same with slightly enlarged displacement .
