Checks for refitting a engine
Apart from the actual putting the engine back togther is there any maintance that should be done. The "new" engine has been stored for an unspecifed amount of time but all the oil looks good pretty clean as is the coolent, however the engine will have been bounced, covered in with oil because it wasnt properly drained before carridge.
I was going to flush the coolent system to get any unwanted oil, i have already checked the valve clearances and obviouly will refill it with coolent and oil. A little bit of water got in the front cylinder about a tea spoon i reckon, there nothing i can do about it but will it have caused any damage? It only happend yesterday.
Is it a matter of bunging everything back togther and going for a spin or do the throttle valve need syncing etc - (bear in mind the engine and throttle body are from two separte engines). There seems to be a host of acronyms that can be checked, with loads of funny numbered gauges that i bet are riddiclouly expensive. Basically i am feed up of looking at the bike and want to get riding again but not at the expensive be back to looking at it agian.
Many thanks
