   I apologize that its not a time lapse video of me rebuilding my F4-134 Hurricane engine. YouTube did not have enough disk drive space to accommodate a long 28 years and counting video.

   By the way, do we call a vehicle powerplant a “motor” or an “engine” ?

   No need to apologize. I know you will post a time lapse video of Willys engines in the near future.
   (pressure’s on. lol.)

   Since most Willys I see are re-powered, and most of those are re-powered with a SBC, this video is very appropriate. Thanks for finding it.

   [btw: I found a great U-tube video on how to adjust the F and L head valves. My little Willys runs like a champ now. I have an F-6-161 that has been at the machine shop for way too long. I’m thinking about bringing it home and learning how to assemble it myself. It can’t be that hard, just follow the instructions…]

   Motor vs. Engine: We just watched a video of an engine being rebuilt. A starter is a motor.
   An engine uses internal energy (fuel) to create power.
   A motor uses external energy (electricity) to create power.

   Aaaahaaa! Makes sense. One would not say “The starter engine on my diesel motor went bad.” But “The starter motor on my diesel engine went bad.” sounds right.

   To be sure, I checked with my wife, she knows everything. She says in a car, its called an “engine”. For a boat with with external powerplants, she says “outboard motor”. With inside powerplants, she says they are “engines” since they are in the engine room.
