Just for fun I dissassembled my own engine once to see if I'm able to identify
some parts of it. I'm not any good at assembler but I understand the basics.
Anyway, I was mainly guessing which part I was looking at. So looking at
assembler statements from an engine you don't even know the sources might be
even harder.
