Can anybody spot the blooper?, it is actually my car a series 1 33 TI twin carb 1500, i didn't know that they were worth restoring.

Found this quite funny , but each to there own I guess.
I'm currently doing my project ATM witch I'm sure some people would think is a waste of time.

There are 3 main bearings in the Boxer motor, and the bearing caps are held in with 4 bolts, 2 from the sides and 2 thru the [removed] sump, when you look at those American 'performance' engines, the really really racey ones have '4 bolt mains', .........just like the 1200cc Boxer Motor had 41 years ago, and the main bearing caps are serrated, so they don't move, did i mention that the Boxer Motor also had a Forged Crank?, most high performance engines should, but not all do, Colin.
