Hello All,
Progress is made--very slowly mind. I have the top end assembled bar the rocker covers and am now ready to put the engine in the frame. I gather one has to undo a bolt or bolts to do this. I have the rolling chassis sitting there complete and am sure some dismantling is needed to re-unite frame and engine. Has anyone any advice?
Cheers

Hello John,
Uli is completely right in his explanation above but as you have a complete rolling chassis you need to put a box or wooden blocks under the front wheel as well as the blocks under the frame when you pull the forks forward. Otherwise you need two people- one to pull the forks forward and the second to put the engine into the frame. It's a heavy lump in case you have forgotten; I took one out a couple of days ago and they seems to get heavier or else I'm getting older.

John, I undid one of the two bolts which connect the front frame member with the top frame rails. Also the lower bolt holding the lower frame rails. So I could swing away the front frame member and slide in the engine. Support the lower frame rails with some wooden blocks.
