One man engine install
« on: July 16, 2018, 06:02:13 PM »
Based on what I saw in a previous post. Here goes.

Going to let it hang overnight before draining the oil and pulling the filter housing. 5 inches higher to go.

Why not lay the engine down and lower the frame over it? The frame is easier to manage than the engine and it's possible to get the engine pretty stuck.
