The way I see it, an internal combustion engine otta last about 20 minutes before it blows up. These are about the most crude example of an engine Ive worked on. That they stay together is an amazement to me,.They vibrate pretty good, its really pretty danged big for a single, it has a low pressure oil system & the cam is at the veeeery top of it all,, just hopin to get enough oil to keep from galling the what? The WHAT?? The No Insert, Aluminum surface the cam spins in,, Whoever designed it must have been sitting on pins & needles during the first trial run. Praying the cam didnt just lunch the head,, & praying he would have his job at the end of the day.,, & then theyr really forgiving, Ive heard of valves pretty far out of adjustment, still ran okay, not as spunky, & Noisy..
I do love me some internal combustion engines,, theyre just cool
