I don't think your engine would have been eaten byone of those machines. I
think engines which are to be used again are taken out by hand because those
machines just grab hold of the motor and rip out the driveline and chuck it in
the engine recycling bin... probably all the crap common engines found in hondas
(should i say that?) and run of the mill cars are wrecked like this..
performance cars would be taken care of separately
