puting engine back in the frame ???

[crashmymax]

I am puting the engine back in my frame today and i am wondering what should be installed on the engine first. The only thing i have put on is the intake manifolds. Is there anything else that will be alot easier to put on now before its in the frame? thanks

Bounce for an answer. I don't know...:ummm:

If you have the valve covers off put them on now, if you add much else it will just get in the way. Everything else can be put on afterward. I removed the swing arm so it would be easier to install the engine w/o the middle drive gear.

Probably swingarm, driveshaft, final drive, rear wheel for sure. Hook up the oil level switch, stator and p/u coils to harness. Exhaust system and can hook up coolant lines too.

Thanx for the assist Brian and Mark...

For sure take the middle gear out. Will make the job far easier and less aggravating even with having to take the swingarm off.

Thanks guys engine is back in. Just a few scuffs in the new paint job.

Having the mid gear out makes the scuffs minimal if any and a simple job compared to trying it with the section still in place. Looking good so far.

Spray some paint into a spray paint can, lid and use a Q-Tip to touch the engine up.... Works all the time on various things for me...
