My dad and I have literally taken apart his entire engine with the engine still in the frame. It is incredible how easy it is to work on. This engine is extremely well made. Probably more of an engine in terms of strength than most would need or want or perhaps care for. It is sooo simple, yet.... so well thought out. If you look at my recent OIL ROUTE manual, you will see the size of the bearings and thickness of the cases. Also, the simplicity of it all. The bearings are SPLASH fed, so really the oil level could be pretty low for a short period of time and there would be no real reason of concern. I know most could care less about the OIL ROUTE manual, but at least take a minute to study the photos and see the value of the time spent designing this engine. SO MUCH THOUGHT was put into the design. Perhaps because I'm a designer of such things and work at a HIGH PRECISION MACHINE SHOP I look into it deeper than most, but I just wanted to put it out there that as far as the engine is concerned -- IT's A true WORK OF ART - in fact it's a masterpiece!!! Huge thumbs up to everyone involved in engineering that motor from Kenny to all at the NORTON UK facility.
Here is a photo of my dad starting to tear it down. We are making manuals of it all so in due time you will really see what this engine is made of. But manuals take a lot of time to put together. I have all the photos now but would rather not spoil the new upcoming manuals so instead, I will post the photos only in the manuals.
