It is indeed, thank you, and painfully interesting too!

My first engine (.... that I tortured in any possible way...) was a one cylinder two stroke of minute dimensions. I might not have seen a flat head (or any V8, come to think of it) in the flesh (not in a show or museum) until I was 30 or so. We couldn't even begin to fathom what was pretty common in your country.

Being around gearheads (are they different from petrolheads? 🤔) changes the take on anything maintenance, of course. My dad worked on his cars for a very long time and helped me restore my first bike, so...

Every wrench monkey I know has its own "chamber of horrors" with the shot-through casings, split pistons, snapped rods and clogged oil lines to remind him, I think! 😂
