I spent all of my adult life in some variety as a jet engine mechanic, not a jet motor mechanic.

In the industry a rocket using solid propellant is generally referred to as having a solid rocket motor and a rocket that uses liquid propellants has an engine. NASA also refers to solid rockets having a motor. I.e., the Space Shuttle boosters used SRMs (Solid Rocket Motors).

Mobil uses both Motor and Engine labels on their bottles and their product definitely does not belong in an electric motor. I'm ok with calling an internal combustion engine a motor.....

I use that on the electric motor on my Lathe. It has oil fill cups on each end.

What's the worst that could happen? Whatever floats your boat. It's just money, not like a limb.

I considered that. Actually removing the trunk lid and standing in the truck made the cutting the HTC deck very easy.

No. A motor can be either. That's why we have MOTORcycles, and not enginecycles, and motorsport, not enginesports.

I followed @FalconF7’s project when he first started it. He used to manufacture his own super car and is a forum member. He did extensive testing on a clear engine cover before he started the rest of it where you can actually see the engine. I think he did a great job and am looking forward to seeing how this looks.
