Re: Half of the work
Thanks, any good idea to mount the engine without scratching the frame?

Re: Half of the work
Two persons are needed. Wrap the frame in old bedsheets (vecchio lenzuolo)
Put the engine in the frame, resting on the bed sheets. Connect the back top engine mounting bolt. The engine can then be lifted at the front so you can take off the bed sheets. Lift and hold the engine, take off the bedsheets and then drop the engine gently so the front mounting lines up. Fit the bolt. Finish fitting the mountings

Fit the bottom of the engine first,then fit the barrels,keeps the weight down and allows some room for manoeuvre,
