[QUOTE="greg brillus, post: 103717, member: 597"] Just as a point of interest, I have seen a set of chopped cases used in a Norvin race bike years ago, where the complete outer section of the remains of the primary drive housing had been completely removed, the main bearings had been staked with threaded screws or similar to the pictures of Roberts engine above and done 180 degrees apart .............The drive side case had completely split across the main bearing housing straight through where those screws had been and right out to the front of the case. Of course the main weakness was the total removal of the Primary housing thus removing a large strength area of the case. It is very sad to see any engine do this let alone a Vincent engine ........ It is not something you forget............ :(. [/QUOTE]
