Other: "My diesel experience comes from working in the engine room of a 1,000-foot container ship with a 35,000-horsepower slow-speed Sulzer diesel. My favorite modification thus far would be installing the South Bend 3600 dual-disc clutch. My least favorite modification was removing the muffler to install the straight pipe. I now have a scar that will last forever on my right thumb."
