"An engineer measures the piston/bore clearance to the millimeter"
I bloody hope he's more accurate then that.

I've watched a few of these, they're very similar in their inaccuracies. Even in this one it talks about TIG welded chassis, when anyone can see it's MIG being used. And that dual action sander looks like an angry grinder to me!

I quite like watching those "How It's Made" programmes - but the announcers do come out with some total cobblers at times!

Just watching this one now and had to go back and watch that CNC machine in action again at around 2:20!

I wouldn't mind one of those!


Though I am a bit confused when hes installing the exhaust manifold at 8:26 and then adding a backing plate for an airbox too :| just a slight cock up

I often get the impression that they get given a video, and that they work out their own version of what's happening, and often get it wrong. Still, an interesting show overal.
