Results of a fairly standard R45 'Dropped Valve'

 

 

The dramatic results of an R100 'Dropped Valve'

R100RT rear drive splines - 100,000 + miles and you could shave with the splines

The result of a dropped R80G/S hitting a kerb and almost ripping off a barrel. A testament to the old Boxer bottom end, 80,000 miles later the crankshaft has never been removed!

 

An Airhead collapsed gearbox bearing - the result of ignoring all the warning rumbles

 

 

A badly damaged R51/3 piston
