Hi Frank,
I have no idea how big was that engine. I collected that valve from the vessel which I visited on her call to my home place 35 years ago. Can't even remember the name of the vessel so I can't find the details of the engine. Nowadays everything gets bigger and the main engine of my last vessel have 2 stroke main engine of 72240 kW. (@104 RPM). Exhaust valve of that engine would be little bit too big for anvil in my workshop. I could take discarded exhaust valve of aux. engine (4000 kW @720 RPM) from that vessel to replace my anvil, but already had enough weight in my luggage.
Regards
