Engine Removal - Any Tips anyone?
 

Im removing my SV (curvey) engine on Friday. My old mans helping and he knows his niggles when it comes to bikes, typical strip down engines in the living room kinda guy...

I don't think we will have any issues, and were setting about 4-5 hours aside for the whole engine swap.

I was just wondering if any of you guys/girls have done it, and if so, if theres any usefull tips or hints when removing the SV's engine. Anything out of the ordenary.

Someone is lending me the engine bolt tool off here, we've got oil, filters, exhaust gaskets etc.

Its just he's away at the weekend so we're looking to do it completly of friday and would liek to know if theres anything that may come up so I know now opposed to when we're doing it?

Probably not, but always worth asking for a few bits of text :)

Cheeeeeeeeers

:D

It's heavier than it looks :) But then, you probably know that if your new one has arrived? I helped a mate of my dad's fit a Harley motor years ago, and it was easier to drop the bike onto the engine than it was to lift the engine into the bike.
