This video of a factory worker dropping the crankshaft on the main bearings makes me shudder! I've got to think this is not good for the crankshaft or the bearings! The part of the video I'm referring to is about 50 seconds in ( http://www.sciencechannel.com/tv-shows/how-its-made/videos/assembling-a-v6-engine/ ) . Contrast this video with the assembly of a Bentley motor ( http://www.sciencechannel.com/tv-shows/how-its-made/videos/bentley-engine/ ) and its a different level of care. Yes...I know the Bentley is radically more expensive, but it's still surprising to me how "rough" the Chevy workers are when assembling a motor.
I've watched a video of Porsche factory workers assembling their motors, and it's a very different level of care.
Is it my imagination, or are the V6 workers a little careless with their assembly?
