He’s no poser. He owns three, and I bet he can repeat the rod bolt torque specs from memory...... By the way, the machinery work on the engine is artwork.

well, the machine work was artwork after Packard came in. They took out a license from Rolls-Royce to build the Merlin (as the V-1650) since the Allison V-1710 wasn’t ready. They complained to Rolls that they couldn’t build the engine to Rolls’s tolerances because they were far, far too loose. Rolls-Royce was still making them as virtual one-offs, every engine needed a tremendous amount of hand-fitting. Packard actually pretty much re-designed much of the engine so it could be mass-produced.

So weird how much we take for granted in a modern car engine. Oh, here’s the 27 step process to start the engine.
