Somebody's head had to roll in order for somebody higher in the food chain to save face. I have seen this kind of thing happen all too often. Now, with respect to diesel engines, I hate all this emissions equipment that we have on the modern diesel engines with a passion.

Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power.
