I was looking on caterpillars website at this 16 cyclinder gas engine they sell
it weighs 65,900lbs.
it puts out 4700hp @1000rpm
cooling system takes 384 gallons of coolant
takes 387 gallons of oil(holy oil change bill)
20,704 Cubic Inches

where as your honda engine:
weighs 300lbs
puts out 160hp @7500rpm
cooling system might take a gallon
takes 4 quarts of oil
and only has like 96 cubic inches.

Heres the link(no direct link look for G3616 Industrial Under the gas engine title)

and 29.375 Stock US spec B16's to equal the power.
and 27.647 SIR 1 J spec B16's.
and 28 Sir 1 J spec B16's cost(@1200 bucks each)=33,600.
I bet the caterpillar costs a lot more than that. The price of just 65,900lbs of steel is probably that much .

but i bet you the cat has a 1 million hour warenty and will last till it becomes obsolete
 
Yup, I've worked on some pretty big Cat engines before. They're beasts. The one I played with the most was a 52 liter V12. It topped out at 2200rpm, put out about 2250hp, and made 6000lbft+. When you shift gears on the transmission, the entire 40 ton carrier that it's mounted on starts rocking around like a baby in a cradle. Scary.

My roommate is a desiel mechanic, I went over to his work once, they were working on a volvo semi. I could have made a bed on the valve cover of the thing it was so big.
