Not only that, but the (originally Triumph) 1500 has only 2 main bearings
and no cam bearings (hard to believe, eh? what were they thinking?), so
is not at all recommended for serious tweaking. Cheaper to rebuild,
though, one would think... (which is good, as it probably requires it
frequently -- at least the only one I know personally did).
