    Installed the engine back in the frame.
    Decided to do it without the front end in the way as it was much easier to get it in place without tearing up the frame paint.
    Was going to paint the valve and side covers today but it is still cold and windy.
    Have a great weekend.

    I've been electroplating small parts for the past few years.
    I agree its not really a time saver but I am working on the assumption extra time now will pay off by slowing corrosion in the future.
