[QUOTE="DucATIRadeon, post: 179129, member: 5456"] the bolted Enfield crank assembly is as old/common as all other engines. its only from the AVL design project (2004-2005?) they started to do press-fit bigends; they were just a few years' behind following the engineering development (and trend) as the other makes. quite literally: the Enfield [B]Bullet[/B] engine up to 2007 was pretty much unchanged from 194? with the exception of improved and much more readily available metic bearings and fasteners. the Machismo (AVL engine) was from 2005 to 2009, and the EFI Bullets were modernised old Bullets with the AVL tech and added electrics and fuel injection and hydraulic tappets and auto-decompressor and what not. they're actually pretty good and did a real good job in making new retro models! so the bolted cranks has nothing to do with simple maintenance in India. And, the press fit bigend cranks are cheaper and simpler to produce and true! oil filters are important, no debate there; RE use(d) the same old socks and panty's as oil filters as the Vincent did/does back in the day. imagine a Vincent with forged one-piece crank, plain/floating bigends and conrods with bolted endcaps. no more pressing up and trueing and press fitting parts and looking for the right needles and cages etc. etc.. add some NASCAR influence/tech :) sorry drifting off there [/QUOTE]
