Hi Mark:
The Prius fire was caused by improper spacing. I've come across this in
related areas. My son restored a 1941 D8 CAT and told me the lifters
were hitting the valve cover. It turns out he substituted a gasket for
the factory thick cork seal. The seal thickness was part of the
design. In a similar fashion modern off road vehicles require the
proper thickness of gaskets or things touch each other that are not
supposed to.
Have Fun,
Brooke Clarke

Oh, yeah... there a lots of neat Prius hacks. Including conversion to plug-in
hybrids with lithium batteries. For a good time see:

BTW, Toyota sells a non-hybrid Prius overseas... it gets better milage than
the hybrid...

(I wonder if there's a hack to change the SOC limits?) Makes the warranty
more impressive.
