I always mark the installation of the engine back into the frame as a happy milestone. At last, entropy is being reduced along with the parts pile in the corner.
Here is a short video showing how I install the engine.

Hi Matt, Thank you. Are the same famous motorcyling IIes that lives in Denver?
Brook, the frame and engine block are beautiful! The bike has come a long way from when you initially took ownership.
Hi Saunders, Yes, it was quite bedraggled when it came here to live. Stay tuned, more to come. š
