Think of it this way and it is marketing genius. Most times, when an
engine goes in a plain old non-exotic, it is well past its prime and the
decision to replace the car is easier. Provide a cost-effective reason keep
it and buy more "Original Ford Parts" to keep the rest of the car running.
In 60 years we could be a 21st century Cuba with no American cars after
2016. Brilliant!

A A A When an engine fails or becomes very worn, it is usually
pulled from

The process

materials. A

This
A A A atomizes the feedstock, which is then sprayed onto a surface
with

that they
