It still amazes me just how clean that engine is. You could eat off those rods

[soberbrent]

i want to see the wrench they used to take those rod caps off with

[repairdroid77]

What company?

[repairdroid77]

Fantastic build quality. Any idea who made it?

What do you expect from the Swiss!!

The machining on the rods looks like what you would expect from the makers of the best watches in the world!!

[ddddcheaper]

I guess they have to stop the engine to refill the rod oil cups.
