Since I don't know how the assembly line is structured, I will ask a stupid question. Are we talking about one tool or are there several that do the same job?

That's not a stupid question, Nick, since  -  as you imply. -  the answer depends on how the engine assembly line is structured. The GT3 engines used to be assembled individually by one mechanic per engine, so there would need to be several mechanics working alongside each other, each with his own set of jigs, tools and equipment.

Someone said above that the system has now been changed, so that all GT3 engines pass down the same assembly line, suggesting that there would only need to be one station for torquing the conrod bolts of all engines. Smiley
