Well, I've put together maybe 25-30 engines in my life (just an old farmer/hobbyist) so I'm certainly no pro but I like to take my time and do it right. Methinks this fellow is in much to big of a hurry.
25,000 engines, doing 4 engines per day 250 days per year (gotta take a two week vacation from all that engine building) would still take 25 years. Let's say he's a real "careful" type and "only" does two per day, that would require "only" 50 years to accomplish this magnificent feat.
Dunno about you but reckon I prefer to have someone a bit more willing to slow down. (Actually I do my own, never had a failure yet).
