What happens here
Lake Speed leads the group to the engine shop, highlighting various parts and tools, including transmission parts, crankshafts, and other engine components. He describes the meticulous process of grinding cylinder heads by hand before the advent of CNC machines. He then points out an old-school Bilstein shock from his 1983 Purex car, comparing it to a modern Formula suspension shock. Finally, they reach the dyno cell, where engines are tested. He mentions a goal to refresh an old Ford engine to see its performance with modern components.
Goal: Explore the engine building area and dynamic testing capabilities.
