Re: engine rebuild
end of day 2:
decided to get off al the **** on my swingarm off: to: back to the rest of the bike: tomorow the engine is comeing out drain the oil, coolant, get the carbs and air filter off, and then have fun trying to get the engine out. Will be picking the new engine up tomorow, to get it in that state took about 8 hours total... |

Re: engine rebuild
Some serious work there, but looks like you got the ideal place to do it. Nice garage :0
Hope it all comes together ok.

Re: engine rebuild
Am I missing something here? I thought you were doing an engine swap, why is the back wheel removed and what you been doing for two days
Or is it being used as an excuse to do loads of other stuff you haven't got around to as well ? Cheers Mark.

Re: engine rebuild
YChris stripped my bike down in less than a day, it vanished before my eyes. Apart from the really ceased stuff that took days to hammer into shape!!
what none of the guys know is that there was no nice birdy to make all your cups of tea, and, you had to go make them all yourself, thus it took longer than expected!!!
