Kwack In The Shack - Engine Removal

Hiyaz,

I've just recently removed the engine from the frame on mine; had to do it
on me jack jones, but I found a way of doing it quite simply...

(see video) >>> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M4W7BOO7mKM

I bricked up underneath the engine only,
also with a pair of car tripod thingy's borrowed off a mate, thus taking the weight off the engine mounts, by the way I raised the frame with engine
to the brick 'tower' height with me Eazy Rizer lift > http://www.on-bike.com/products_bigblue.htm <

So, with the engine weight off the frame, removed all the mounting
bolts 'n' plates, tilted frame backwards a bit to remove tripod thingy's,
then tilted clutch side a bit until I could remove wood deck slice
from beneath the engine, kicking out bricks bit by bit keeping wood slice in with a bit of tricky balancing until near enough
to the floor, then jiggled out of frame rolling clutch side onto old chunky
cushion foam, then you'll see the rest in the video, raising it on to the
cabinet :lol:

Cheers Mark... well I'll be leaving the frame in it's current state without
stripping the paint as I'll be storing it in a seperate small brick shed that is not
very damp proof, so the frame coating I'll strip when nearer completion...

Got talking to someone about that as it happens, he told me of a chemical
dip tank place that is for metal parts like frames etc, maybe better for
the nooks 'n' crannies? Frame appears to have been powder-coated ?

Missed the B52s by two days on a detached to Nellis one year!!

In other news - I took my frame off of the engine by laying it on its side.

Since then I have made other arrangements.
