40 Refitting the engine/gearbox unit in the frame

1 It is worth checking at this stage that nothing has been

omitted during the rebuilding sequences. It is better to discover

any left-over components at this stage rather than just before

the rebuilt engine is to be started.

2 Installation is, generally speaking, a reversal of the removal

sequence. The unit should be lifted into its approximate position

in the frame, where it can be lodged between the frame

members. Loosely assemble the front engine plate, fitting, but

not tightening, the mounting bolts. Place the rear bolts in posi-

tion, noting that all bolts should be fitted from the left-

hand side. Assemble the head steady plates, if these have been

removed. When all the bolts are in position, tighten them evenly

to 2.0 - 3.0 kgf

m (14.5-22 Ibf

ft). Note that the generator

output leads should be routed through the pressed steel guide

which fits beneath the upper mounting bolt head.

3 Reconnect the generator output leads at the connector

block adjacent to the battery. Refit the clutch operating cable

and adjust it as described in Routine maintenance. Push the

crankcase breather pipe onto its stub. Refit the

carburettor.
