    I was convinced, despite rough setting, doing well and efficient (though labor intensive) job. Until the lathe chuck and hack saw cutting off sprues, turning in a 3 jaw instead some manner of fixture, until scattered die castings went in with used pistons (and of course the usual sandals and flannel pajama pants) a modern thriving enterprise! Cough, cough. It's hard not being judgemental holding other circumstances up to the wrong environment.
    Watching is an eye opener. Motorcycle side covers are not equivalent aluminum to what makes pistons. The perma-mold and cores used were not all that crude, no one sitting around, and the volume says they're selling.
    Sincerely,
