Interesting how all engines are "electrically dynoed" once the engine block and heads are assembled, but before the intake runners. So, no petrol in it, only spun by turning the crank at the flywheel, I suppose. It wasn't too specific. So, no exhaust fumes to deal with. I imagine there is engine oil already in it. Comments?

Thanks Ilko for hosting the files. Very disappointing but not surprising to see how the cars are made. Definitely a grand departure from just 15 years ago. You could substitute this factory for Hyundai or Volvo or (etc) and you probably wouldn't be able to tell much of a difference. The old world craftsmanship appears to be completely gone. But it doesn't take watching this to realize it - just sitting inside one of the new cars, that is self-evident.

I think I'll go for a drive in my 964 Turbo
