Refitting engine to Frame
« on: 09.10. 2008 16:25 »
Hello,

Sorry to ask a stupid question - Is it possible to put the engine back in the frame if it is fully built on the bench ? i.e with the topend on. My mannual is in UK and I am overseas at the moment (just planning for next year when I get back)

Thanks for your time

Hi Duncan, I build my engines and time them before I fit the head. I leave the generator and front engine plates off and drop the engine into the rear plates. I then fit the front plates. This saves a lot of paint being scratched from the front plates.
