putting the engine back in the frame

hairygit:
The only reason I didn't suggest that was I didn't know you had a stripped frame, figured you had a rolling chassis to put it in!

And oil filter housing  ;)

Laverda Dave:
This is the same method I used, it does work although it's easier if someone can help you lift the frame over the engine. I attached the front and back wheels while it was on its side to make it easier to pull it upright.

mike the bike:
That's probably the best method for fitting the engine in a bare frame but not into a complete bike.
Whichever way you decide on, take your time to avoid chipping the paint.

Ive put the engine in and out 3 times on my own using the frame over the engine, the trick is you need the engine at about 20 to 30 degrees and I found it helped with the wheels on. Gives you a smoother pivot. As mentioned you need all those parts off to allow it to clear and plenty of padding.

Pipe insulation works very well!! Just take your time.. and good luck!
