Engine swap over ,full removal

auldblue · Nov 7, 2014

I am contemplating swapping engines just to try out my rebuilt combat spec. The engine that is in the bike starts and runs well. When I fitted it ,I did it minus the head but I don't fancy stripping the head. Is it easy enough to pull the engine complete as I have only ever pulled them with the head off. Same with dropping a totally rebuilt motor in the frame?

It's easily done with the head installed. Jim

Yes, it is very easy to install.

And the head and barrels are FAR easier to install on the bench as well!

Leave your front ISO mount and engine brackets on the motor, come out of the right hand side of the frame.
I leave the bike on a rear wheel paddock stand so it is low as possible, stand over it once all other parts are removed , lift the motor out, then place in a bench stand on the floor. if no one around to put the pins in the bench stand , lay the motor on the floor, fit stand and pins yourself and stand all up. Just do the reverse to get the motor in !!!

I did mine on my own with a chain block over the bike & soft strap around the motor .
took a little trial & error to get it to hang right , but was easy enough .

Brooking and Dero for the tips. Eddie it must be easy if you can do it. Will give it a bash in a few weeks mostly I was worried about my cobblers but if I use a sling should be ok.

Can't argue with that. Plus I'm normally drunk.
