Rewarding job huh!
As for engine parts, we frequently have to replace sleeves in our race motors. Heat the cases up in the oven (which cooks any oil residue and smells terrible....) and pop the new sleeves in the freezer. Bang out the old ones from the cases while they are hot, and pop the new frozen one in. Works a treat, but smells terrible in the house for a good hour after that (with all the windows and extraction fans on! hahahahaha

Very cool.
I don't like amber headlights or tail lights but I do really like that little bit of amber inside of the headlights. It gives it a cool look IMO.

I think what you were referring to are the opennings for the headlight washer nozzles.
