They should genitically engineer men in hats, who are 1mm tall, that can do engine work.

Would make valve seals a cheap fix, wheres my air leak? beh throw a worker in, see what he finds as he walks through.

Will it fit?
Come on it would only take some slight massaging of the firewall, surely its worth a try.

Imagine the wheel stands that your could pull, no more diff ratio problems and you could tow the boat with ease

Even at it's most efficient power setting, the big 14 consumes 1,660 gallons of heavy fuel oil per hour.
wow impressing fuel efficiency

i have one of those in my lawn mower, its not all its cracked up to be, you have to be a giant to pull the starter cord. and IF it starts you have to run up 3 flights of stairs to turn the choke off and rev it a bit be4 it stalls... besides, its so heavy it leaves dents in my lawn. i notice they have the version with the 3phase starter motor, looks a little small if you ask me. i wanted the electric start for mine, but they said i would need a sub-station in the front yard, i told them i allready had one (for the garden lights), they said it was too small and would need to be bigger. but that would take up the whole lawn, so there would be no point in haveing a lawnmower, so i got a pull start. as for puting it in a car, i tried, it crushed the car, i gave up and put it back in the lawnmower. you would have thought that a lawnmower with an engine that big would be self-propeled, but noooooo, they made it a push mower....
