Maintenance might be painfully annoying,
I found this vid because I'm thinking of maybe lockwire/safety wiring/cabing my V8 Fiero's exhaust manifold bolts.
Wondering what he's doing? Here is a simpler wire job - how to: at about 8 mins

Safety wiring can be easy- but in a tight deep hole that is a really "Fun" job! I worked at NAS Alameda reworking S-3s and A-6s from 1983 thru 1995....Worst problem with safety wire is the OTHER people who do it leave pigtails sticking straight out rather than curling them, so you catch hand on them.....One of my coworkers actually got poked in the eye with safety wire- and we knew who did it! The culprit almost went for a swim in the bay (In january the water temp is 45 degrees)

Interesting videos. I'm totally unfamiliar with using lockwire.
As an aside... I noticed the fella in the two videos has a very very slight accent. The way he pronounces a few words gives him away. Sounds to me like he might've originally come from back east, maybe The Maritimes... but he's now here in BC, after having gone to school at BCIT.

The performance won't improve with a Jet engine although sounds good. Still has to corner.

Side thrusters?
