- This makes me (an airplane person) wonder: Just what does "modified"
- mean (as applied to car motors)? Apparently if I talk a motor and
- modify it, it is not necessarily "modified". Similarly, I can buy
- a motor off the shelf, do nothing to it, and it can be "modified"
- anyway.
-
- Can anyone explain?
