Two-strokes... Twice the power strokes, half the time between rebuilds.
Looks like you're doing a good job👍
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

Same with mine, so I tend to put the barrels on but keep the heads off till it’s in the frame.

And I don’t have any water pipes, so mine should be easier.
