During this build iteration, the bolt tightening mechanic was fully realized. The game employs a threshold system for fasteners:
: Install the camshaft ( 5 mm bolts ) and line up the camshaft gear before running the timing chain. Missing this alignment will cause your valves to smash into the pistons upon startup.

My Summer Car , developed by Johannes Rojola (ToplessGun), is a nuanced vehicle simulation game that combines intricate mechanical assembly with open-world survival set in 1990s Finland. The game is in a perpetual "Early Access" state, with frequent updates that alter physics, add components, and refine the game world.
Wiring is often considered the most intimidating stage for players rebuilding the Satsuma in recent game versions.
