Why would you take apart the motor if you had no idea of what you were doing?

ok, i know what i was doing. this is not the first motor i have taken apart and def wont be the last. but it was the first boxer motor, so some things were say different, like only 2 nuts holding the whole engine in. thought that was crazy, but i was right anyways, just a disagreement i made 20$ off of

You've had motors apart before and still don't know what a lifter is??

Every motor I've ever pulled (v6 and 8s) were always held in w/ two nuts at the engine mounts. then two more at the trans.
