Reused my original water pump

The stator cover that came on the new engine had some rash, so I sanded it down to remove the scratches

Then just painted it flat black with some hi-temp paint

Install the stator back in the cover

Install the stator and cover, valve cover, and thermostat housing and hoses, and she's complete, ready to go back in!

So I hung the ratchet straps from the rafters once again, and wheeled the bike into position

Get the engine into position

Slowly lower the frame down onto the engine

Annnnd.... she's in!

Gotta tighten the engine mount bolts in a certain sequence to center the engine, then use the special tool to tighten the adjuster lock nuts on the right side

Install the radiator

Tighten all coolant hose clamps

Attach clutch cable

Fill it up with quality cooling juices

Never forget the lube

Double check level.... it takes a little more oil after a major surgery
