Hi
I’m in the middle of taking my 1972 750 combat engine apart. All of it is a new experience so bear with me! I took the head off, then the barrel and then lifted the crankcases and bottom end out.
Thinking ahead, when I come to put it back in frame, will I have to reverse this order or can I build it all on the bench and put the whole lump in as one unit?
I ask because I can see that lining the pushrods up when putting the head on is going to be much easier on the bench than in the frame.
