Easist way to fit engine

<< < (2/2)

DuoDave:
I fully agree that it is a pig of a job however you do it, but if you have a bare frame, I would get the engine on it's side and lower the frame over it. A 20 odd pound frame is easier to handle than a 170 pound engine.

the-chauffeur:

Agree with all of the above, adding that whichever way you do the job, two sets of hands always makes it a whole lot easier.

I used strips of lino - that floor covering stuff - and zip ties bought in bulk from ScrewFix instead of towels.  Lino's cheap, easy to cut to size, doesn't snag and is tough enough not to tear if it gets clipped by the engine casing.  Cardboard works pretty well, too.

If you've got a bare frame, drop it over the engine.  But again, two sets of hands.

Seamus:
Thanks again people.
There was always going to be two pairs of hands as I needed help to get the motor out. I will use some of the above suggestions and see which method works for me.
Appreciate the input
Seamus
