The thermal issues I'm looking at are the staggered exhaust ports that create hot spots, possibly warping the cylinder head and causing head gasket failure. The head castings themselves are definitely more complicated than your average chevy small block.

@Fille3133

I think the number of radiators it's equipped with has to do more with the shape of the car, than the engine properties.

@mikeb1444 Well that's why it has 10 intercoolers.

@Fille3133

That's a can of worms all in its own. I can imagine the issues they had with intake design by using the staggered cylinder arrangement. The thermal issues around that are probably a bit nasty.

@mikeb1444 It takes more time to engineer a engine rather than taking it apart and putting it back together.

@GabZx16 Its a meassuring probe (super accurate, like 0.000001"), I use them at work; he is probably checking the diameter of that crankshaft part to see if it will fit and revolve properly inside the engine.
