Hanging the engine
- (5 hours)

YEP, took five hours to get the engine mounted. Not fun but it is done. Lots of adjustments with the hoist, lots of drift pins, lots of crushing. I did use a ratchet strap to squeeze the lower engine mount holes to line up with the engine case holes.

Exhaust Suspension

Mounting the Exhaust
- (3 hours)
Category: Engine
I ordered a Vetterman exhaust based on great recommendations. I have had it for a couple of months, but only opened the box today. It looked like a jigsaw puzzle. But a look at the directions and it became clear what needed to be done. Except you can't tighten down the top pieces that mount to the cylinder because you then can't fit the next part. Ask me how I know. So there was a bit of putting one, taking off, loosening etc. I am very impressed by the exhaust. I measured from two points to two to have the dual pipes to have the same angle.

Hung the engine
- (1.5 hours)
