How It's Made: Engine Blocks That Survive 100 Million Explosions!

Every three seconds, a new engine block rolls off the production line somewhere in the world – over 100 million precision-engineered hearts manufactured annually, each designed to withstand millions of explosions at temperatures exceeding 4,600°F! We're taking you inside the foundries and high-tech factories where molten metal at 5,400°F is transformed into perfect mechanisms with micron-level precision, revealing the hellish birth process involving self-destructing sand molds, robotic cutters creating channels thinner than human hair, and the hidden secret that determines whether your engine lasts 60,000 or 600,000 miles. You'll discover how engineers turn liquid aluminum and cast iron into the foundation of every vehicle, using ancient casting techniques combined with cutting-edge CNC machining, honing processes that create microscopic oil-retaining patterns invisible to the naked eye, and quality control so precise that a single micron error could cause catastrophic engine failure within minutes of operation!
