WOW, how labour intensive is that? Those engines are almost hand made.
To think that was going on all over the world, the pride the tradesmen must have had making sure their part was perfect. When I was watching the tapping of the bottom of the engine block, I was thinking what a responsibility it would be making sure all the taps were in good condition and cutting perfect threads, every time, on every block.
The sad part is that all that work is now worth about $100.00 a ton as scrap.
I know we can't keep everything, but those of us on the forum I am sure are doing our best to keep as much as we can.
Cheers Ken
