It's always a great feeling when the time comes to install your newly rebuilt mill into the frame. You get all the proper fasteners ready. You clear a path from the bench to the motorcycle. You grab the cylinders, and hold the engine against your chest. It's heavy. 45s are rather light. Knuckles are heavy. Sportsters are the heaviest (especially ironheads) You gently set the engine in place - line up all the holes. Get it straight with the trans, snug up the back, check the front with a feeler gauge (shim if necessary), snug up the front . . . . away we go. Now sit back and crack a cold one and stare at your work. It's a beautiful thing !
