You are doing a fine job there Karl :D

A quick search reveals Rumble is not alone :(
search.php?keywords=piston+melt&fid[0]=5

Was there not a post from a lobbying group asking about this problem?
I wonder how they got on with Ford?

At least engine can be detailed and bay cleaned or should I stay quiet and not give rumble ideas.
