Wow, send 'em over to my place when you are done with them!

Can I get a look at that head gasket @ 8:44?

I’m pretty sure this is just @ryanCA doing his 5k mile service.

I’m betting now that it is a hand built vehicle, it’s a bit better than assembly line

Brings a whole new meaning to, "While I'm in there..."

Thanks for posting

1) They have a FIPG robot, what the hell kind of shop is this?!?!
2) What was that thing they used to clean the bare block? Looked like some sort of laser cooker?

Pretty wild that they take the time to do all this and have all the tooling to rebuild the engine even down to the automated gasket maker.

Whereas here in the US that thing would certainly be parted out/in a junkyard.

I wonder if there's a good amount of profit (even any?) in doing this in other parts of the world?

The laser rust remover is a thing......but expensive.

How they work......I dunno.

I think the labor is always cheaper in africa, pakistan, etc based on different videos I have see , but most of those videos are very rusty workmanship.

This shop is almost like a shadow toyota factory, thats what makes this really beautiful to watch.
