putting the engine back in the frame

(1/3) > >>

I'm not that far off putting the engine back in the frame, at the moment the oil pan is not on, neither is the clutch assembly, starter motor, oil pump ands right/left hand crank case covers (at the polishers) or carbs. Obviously the engine is pigging heavy and to keep the  weight down I thought I'd fit the aforementioned bits once in situ. Seems logical and looks like nothing will foul the frame if I do but I've a sneaky feeling I'm setting myself up for some problems. Any thoughts, anyone done it like this?

Nothing wrong with the idea at all, in fact, if you put the oil pan on, the engine won't go in as the pan fouls the frame tubes!

It's been posted on here a few times before. The best way is to put the engine on it's side on padding and then place the frame onto the engine. You have to leave off the sump pan and breather cover, probably carbs too.

Well that's good news, I've seen the you tube video on laying the engine on its side ...so it actually works ☺
Thanks guys.

I refer to my post back in January...   Removing and refitting the engine.
