OK - It's good - it is a 3D CGI schematic of an 4 cylinder inline engine being built then it goes transparant and you get to see the suck bang blow stage of the engine with Matrix style camera angles.

Not accurate though - after each bolt is put in my local garage have a cup of tea and this gives a false impression that a complete engine can be assembled in about 60 seconds!

After I've downloaded this, will I have sufficient knowledge to rebuild my engine?

You should be able to rebuilt your engine using Jedi mind control instead of messing around with torque wrenches. It's just a shame they didn't put any oil in - its not going to run for long without that!

This is quite good - it really gives an insight into how the engine works. I never realised the fuel mixes with the air before it goes into the engine. I imagined this happened as it went in
