"to change the camshaft drive belt, the technician should remove the engine
to facilitate access for other remedial work. Alternatively, removal of the
right hand front suspension and steering assembly will reveal an access
plate..."
Oh, there's worse. One high-performance car that came onto the market
within the last year or two (can't remember which, but it was from a German
or German-owned manufacturer) has the engine crammed in so tight that you
need to remove the engine to change the spark plugs!
As for inaccessium, it's one of a number of specialist engineering
materials. Within the engine design world I was constantly searching for a
supplier of unobtanium, a specialist alloy that had the strength of
titanium, the weight of aluminium, the price of steel, and whose strength
could be increased indefinitely without any adverse effect on brittleness.
Never did find any, but that didn't stop me specifying it on con-rod
drawings...
