zep Posted June 9, 2004 Share Posted June 9, 2004 you should get a workshop manual, that will tell you have to remove and install an engine. So just take it out of yours and put it in the next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.Mk1 Posted June 9, 2004 Share Posted June 9, 2004 Mr Haines sez - make sure u label all the hoses and stuff, so that you can match them up later on. but yea, get a haines manual, everything u need 2 know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toucan Posted June 9, 2004 Share Posted June 9, 2004 Not worth paying someone else to do it, less fun too. I went from knowing nothing about engines to know all about engines Jump in there and have a go, aslong as you label everything as you take it out you wont have a problem. When I took my engine out i took just the engine, then took the gearbox off afterwards. Though when we put it back in we put both the engine and gearbox in together, i think it was easier this way rather than the first, even though the manual says otherwise. But yea I took out my 1300 recently so if you have any queries feel free to ask while the infos fresh in my mind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
