Okay, it appears you've been working with these engines, in depth, for some

example, Russ was a VW mechanic and now works at Mahle Parr, Jim A. is a
physicist (or damn close) and has been working on T3's for God-knows how
many years, John J. is a composite engineer for Ford, I just sit here and
try to absorb it all :)
