Read it again Fritz,,,,,,

"In comparison: Under laboratory conditions at the start of the project the researchers took around three hours to machine a cylinder block with the laser. Audi has invested EUR 4.8 million in the 4.60 metre long, 7.60 metre wide and 3.50 metre high plant, which is completely enclosed by a steel chamber. It is operated by one employee per shift, who has undertaken training in laser technology in addition to his/her basic qualification as a skilled technician. There are altogether around 250 staff employed in Györ on production of the 3.0 TDI engines. "

Now why were they talking about LASER machining engine blocks and UV Laser treatment of cylinder walls in that article???

"The cycle time for a complete engine block including handling is just 184 seconds, and the exposure time for each cylinder bore is 20 seconds"

Hola,.. got a clue now Fritz Amarosa?

The article is about BOTH the Laser machining of engine blocks and UV Light treatment of cylinder walls. Thats why Fritz o stubborn one they stated that at first it took them THREE hours to laser machine a engine block!

Cheers! You failed again, now go back and tell us how much you love investment castings.

And yes dear Fritz, Porsche has made some engines from forgings, some from castings, some blocks even from magnesium. But now, NOW, they have stooped to Bill Ruger
cheesy technology and build them from investment castings, wich is the cheapest, worst, junkiest way to make a motor.

Wich is also why it is not raced anywhere and is also why Porsche mechanics snicker and laugh at customers behind their backs for buying a car with it! Go ask one!

Next time ask me how I really feel!
