Did you see the part where they said for 2020 they dropped RTV completely and the engine is held together by nothing more than Krazy Glue and Silly Putty?

That was my favorite part. I had no idea how versatile CA and putty really are!

Yep. You can seal your engine AND make copies for the Sunday comics. If you can find printed Sunday comics I suppose.

This is the answer we need for getting the new FA24 engine into the current models! We'll use the putty to copy the additional displacement and put it into the FA20! Whoo hoo! #Solved

It reverses everything though so you would lose displacement.

Since this thread is totally derailed now anyway...

..and I love me a good train wreck (intentional mixing of metaphores):

I'll just leave this here and run: the debunking of the "golden ratio" of math as the key to historical aesthetics. Worth the read.

Eh its probably Toyota's idea anyways. Remember the FJ cruiser? That thing already had 3 windshield wipers, likely with a nozzle for each wiper.
