Notice the Comeau name is involved...(very briefly).
WOW! it was great, of course anything that wasn't visual (the Verbal information would have been best presented with "english sub-titles!) have not a clue. But the visuals were remarkable.
Just a q for you so wise- if they are building it with tolerances of fractional thickness of a hair, what if something just a bit bigger (sliver of metal?) were to be accidentally , added to say, an oil change? how bad would/could the damage be?

If it made it through the pick-up tube screen, it'd get stuck in the oil filter. A sliver of metal is much better to have floating around than abrasive, gritty material like dirt or metal dust that can get in between moving parts.
