Mike on a bike:
Hi guys n gals, the time is almost here for me to put the engine back in the frame, having never been in this position before as I bought the bike with the engine already out of the frame I was wondering if there is any preferred method of man handling this heavy lump back into the frame. I have an aftermarket hardtail so not to much on the restriction side. Is there a preferred side to slide in from, which bolt to secure first etc. I do have a chronic back problem  and heavy weights are a no no for me, so I will not be alone when fitting it back in. Any advice or guidance greatly appreciated. I do have an electric winch hanging from the rafters so it that can help me I will use it. This won't be a final fitting as there are still lots to do to the frame before being stripped again for painting.

Best of luck you will need help.
The easiest way i have found is to lay the engine on a soft padded surface on the off side.
and lower the frame over the engine.
Slide any of the long bolts in and stand the bike up.
put the two engine plates on the off side.
Don't forget the earth strap on the top rear bolt before you push it through.
Good luck Rich

there is a way of fitting,

 remove the oil filter,lay the engine on its side,and then lower the frame over it,

secure a few bolts,
 then lift the bike upright,

 some were on the site,is a better description,but that is the gist
