dupersunc Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 J/k frame, breather off, and sump off makes life a lot easier. You wont get the cam cover back on once the engine's in situ. L/m frame, breather off Quote Link to comment

Marc clayton Posted May 1, 2021 Author Share Posted May 1, 2021 It’s an 1989 G reg if that helps? Quote Link to comment
dupersunc Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 Most likely a K frame then. Quote Link to comment
Baron Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 I have put 1100 teapot engine into 750K frame without taking anything off. It is tight, but can be done. You have to play with lower back engine mount. Either make spacer which you slide into engine or drill mounting holes on the frame to 12mm. Once engine is in place, only way to remove valve cover is to take all engine mounting bolts off. That way engine drops a few cm and you are able to take cover off. So protip, adjust your valve clearances before mounting the engine. Quote Link to comment

Engine is in now but I took the sump off to squeeze it in and now I have the problem of not being able to get my fucking rocker cover on!! looks like I’ll ha e to remove all the engine mounts as you’ve said and get the rocker on!!! Ffs!! What a bastard!!! Quote Link to comment
