What they say

sand that goes in there, right? The cores. Yes. The core box is the internal passages. So whether it be like what you've seen already, the hot box or a cold set sand that this would be made. Originally this was made in what we call our hot boxes, right? And a shell core sand. And now it's made in the ISO sand. That's that cold set white sand that you see. Okay. So, back in the before it was one piece, people had to take all these individual pieces and like glue them together. Correct. That's it. They use these jigs uh to kind of put them in there and align them and make sure everything is nice and set well and assembled with glue uh paste to get rid of the parting lines that they would have and make it as nice and neat as possible. So that we got a nice clean casting and nice clean features. And if you've seen our John Callie's video where he mentions core shift being the reason for why someone's heads were cheated up higher than they were, core shift is when someone did not orient these correctly and they're just a little bit off. That is right. The finished product is, you know, maybe it's glued together like that and then that variance is in there different from what it's actually supposed to be. That's correct. So, if you didn't know what a core shift is, that might help you understand it a little bit better, right? And obviously, it's a lot uh easier to have a core shift and and something that's an assembly like this, right? Um it when we make it as a one piece, can't really have core shift because it's exactly one piece. It's a one piece drop, right? So, core shift isn't even really a something that you have to worry about anymore. Um, no, we still have cores that are made like this. It depends on complexity, right? So, we do still have
