Title: How the Panigale engine is made Post by: JohnEE on January 11, 2013, 06:11:43 PM Cycleworld had a writer do a piece about how the panigale engine is made here (http://www.cycleworld.com/2013/01/11/walking-the-ducati-1199-panigale-line/) It's a good read with lots of pictures. Some good engineering porn.
(http://www.cycleworld.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/Ducati-1199-Panigale-engine-assembly_001.jpg) Look at the size of those pistons, really puts the bore into prospective! [drool] Title: Re: How the Panigale engine is made Post by: He Man on January 11, 2013, 08:02:40 PM HOLY CRAP!

They're basically conventional wet liners, the head holds them in. Other than the case splits *along* the liners, which I've never seen before.
