Following on from my engine being lunched thread (http://forums.sv650.org/showthread.php?t=141338), I've managed to source a new engine. I'm going to be picking it up today, but it needs fitting ASAP.

Is there anyone who's free today to help out? I'm very limited in the tools dept and have no stands for the bike at all, so anyone who can drop in and help would be a massive aid. There will be cups of tea and maybe a chinese for anyone who makes it.

Mobile number is xxx if you're able to help out, and I know it's not a good idea to have the number on a public forum, but I'm going to be out of the house for the next hour or two getting the engine.

Cheers,
Chris

Have got all but 2 engine mounting bolts off now. Waiting on my housemate's dad to turn up to deal with the rest. Doubt it will be done by tonight as the new engine has knackered front cylinder exhaust studs. Still, hopefully we'll get as much as possible done.

By the way, did I mention that the local chinese was really good? ;)

Engine is now out of the bike, and some stuff transferred across to the new engine. Alternator needs to be switched over, then the new engine needs to go into the frame.

Should be doing this on Sunday...is anyone available to help out?

Thanks!
