Lugging is Very hard on the main bearings.
I would also add the sustained high RPM's is really hard on these old long stroke engines.
So many people want to "dink" with the Governor and try to run 55/60 mph or more.
The rod's and piston's are not going to last doing it.
They are Large pieces compared to modern parts.
These old engine's are beat to death,then we wonder why they break.
