With creative solutions and a touch of humor, they tackle each obstacle head-on, showcasing a blend of expertise and resourcefulness that sets them apart. From aligning splines to torquing bolts with precision, every action is a step closer to breathing life back into the once-silent V10 engine, ready to roar back to life on the open road.
