Drove 300 miles today for 2nd hand engine

Good price so engine out this afternoon, sump coming off tomorrow do make sure nothing untoward and fit the engine with new oil filter, oil coolant

 

Hopefully by 6 tonight, finishing work at 12, 6 hours I reckon to finish

 

Engines in and bolted up,

I dropped the sump today and used petrol/diesel mix to clean
Refitted sump
Bolted engine back In
Rewired
Refitted radiator, fans, air box
Connected tank
Filled with some cheap oil
Turned it over 10-12 times to circulate oil
Started it, ran for < 1 min
Took off sump lug left to drain overnight

Tomorrow will be

Fill with new Castrol oil
Coolent fill
Get it running up to temp
Tune ecu ensure no engine fault codes
Double check everything

If ok start to refit fairings and plastics
Clean everything

Took out my plugs out of old engine and fitted those as they only done 1000 miles
Fitted my front sprocket as it was quite new


If everything ok back on road tomorrow

I then want to strip old engine, find out what failed
I fancy rebuilding it TBH, bit gasket kit and crank shells will be £500 before I look at buckets, head etc

Good result was new engine I got I assumed would be a bare engine
I got throttle bodies, starter, clutch, gear set, spare covers, water pump, so lots of spares

It will cost in all around £450 to get back on road as long as this engine has no issues tomorrow
