The long tie bolts are used on large slow speed engine to absorb
firing load down to the main bearing girders. To minimize bending stress
in the bed-plate and to achieve mechanical stability in the whole engine
assembly under running condition.
The tie bolts embrace the bed plate and cylinder block through the
column with correct tension, to assemble the engine structure under
compressive stress.
Two bolts are fitted on each transverse girder as close as
