I've been working on engines
I've been working on engines for nearly 50 years. Recently had to rebuild a boxer boobaroo for daughter. What a nightmare! I can't believe that people buy those things. Every part is designed for assembly and then disposal. You are never supposed to repair it. You're supposed to buy a new one. The boxer design was great in the days of pushrods, copper head gaskets, and cast iron, but it just isn't updatable and reliable at the same time. God help anyone who lives where the roads get salted.
