61 years now that's a record.

The picture of the engine suggests to me that it is not a candidate for future DIY enthusiast maintenance. But it looks VERY impressive.

The modern way of fitting the mains and big end shells are located by clamping force, no tabs to stop the bearing shells from turning.

Not so sure of the plastic cam chain guides long term.

Look forward, develop all electric!!!!!!!
