Good machine. Car engines have a huge amount of simple machines all connected together into a very complex system. Each part must be machined to within a few thousandths of an inch (about the diameter of a human hair). If any one of the hundreds of parts is poorly made or installed, it can cause problems for the whole system.
On a related note, check out this video for a fighter plane interrupter gear than prevents the gunner from shooting off his own propellor.
