I agree. I'm assuming that the build process will be mostly automated to produce large numbers in a short period of time. So unless the company has been producing 3 cyl. engines, then they have the lines set up for that, if not, then it'll take more work than just re-programming the robots for the task! I don't know how I came up w/ that since I've only seen it done on "How it's made"!
I think EM can accommodate yours too, after all you've been good all year! Santa just might be extra nice and deliver it to you by X/mas 2016.....if it'll fit in your chimney!

Thought I'd put this up. It's a 4 cyl GM engine build, but similar process.

Hope this gives a clue for people who have never seen it.

Hurray, another fan of "How it's Made". I also like "Rescue my Renovation"!

and a little bit more (which also explains why COMAU is doing the line setup)

and a little about programming

Hope this is useful to you and explains why COMAU will be setting up the plant and why it makes no sense to hire people until Elio gets the word from COMAU.

That's the most detailed video yet of engine assembly I've ever seen. Thanks WilliamH.
