Engine Test Fit

7th July 2011
After playing about with the steering column I decided I needed to get the engine in the chassis to check for clearance.
Because I have limited head room in my garage I decided to get the engine in the chassis in a bit of a roundabout way...
Firstly I lifted the chassis off the build table and removed it from the garage.  In it's current state I could just about lift it by myself.
Next I used the engine crane to get the engine onto the build table.
My plan was that I could then simply drop the chassis over the top of the engine.
It wasn't quite as easy as that as it happened, an hour or so of swearing, sweating, grunting, and removing bits from the engine later I had managed it:
