Posted this info on the other forum a little while ago.
Also, when the H2 spox says that the facility will be disaster proof, keep in mind an umbrella in a hurricane. Solar photovoltaic fields need to be not only wind proof at 150 mph but entirely resistant to being smashed by flying debris. If the PV modules tear loose at 100 mph, that is a 44 pound 3x5 foot buzz saw. I am painfully aware of such events and care should be taken in bandying such claims.
As you know, I am a supporter of the CSRV and H2 companies. However, I do have 30 years into the technologies. As my dad said, Believe nothing of what you hear and only half of what you see. We shall see and quite happily too.
Posted elsewhere about Coates V12 delivery...
The pictures of the V12 being delivered are of a previously deployed unit from the field and not a new or virgin engine direct from the factory.
That is not bad news though. Simply put, GC and GC are doing the same thing Cummins does in their rebuild facility. Coates will ditch one of the most expensive parts of the engine, the WHOLE valve train!!! Not to mention disposing of the heads also.
Lunacy would be to buy a new engine and discard the valve trains and heads. Far easier to rebuild the bottom end because the pistons will be replaced as Coates custom parts that will compliment the valve and compression/breathing required by natural gas.
GCs are smart and very thrifty (warms my Scots heart).
The first 3 seconds or go to minute mark 4:26 (near the very end of video) to see a V12 QST of a similar type engine with a cleared deck, no heads and no valves. That is what GC will do, then replace with the new head/CSRV units. The video is Russian.

The whole video shows pulling a cylinder liner out which may or may not be done in GC's rebuild.
