Thats petrol though, and will be a rocket ship compared to the 2 litre diesel, very rare engine, well rare to find a good running one!

Tolerances on F1 parts are incredible. I fit fire suppression systems to the spark eroder machines for one of their suppliers. These machines take microns off metal parts, and can take hours to produce one spline or gear.

Indeed an incredible with the amount of attention to detail there is

Also heard it can take a few hours to get a F1 engine started , always heard that the engines were virtually seized due to the very tight tolerances , but did recheck as it was years ago I heard that and see that’s not the case, just takes a while to get everything warmed up before they can be started

Also wonder how much tech from F1 goes over into production vehicles

I think you'll find a lot of tech does, indirectly.
Eg things learned by developing f1 cars.
Even simpler things like tyre developments, new compounds and tread etc

Next stage stripping engine

Funny enough posted the videos over here as well earlier on, lol
