It was nice to see the engine at this stage. It was the moment of lifting the engine from the engine stand. It has a whole load of titanium fasteners on it, but it still felt incredibly heavy.
Torque settings were checked again. Feels like obsessive compulsive disorder, fearful of untorqued bolts.
The engine now sits in the motorbike shed under plastic. When the front end of the Mini is replaced it'll be lowered into the engine bay. Probably hooked up to get it working but then removed again for the respray.
Total cost so far is I believe £1000 and it's now a 1293cc
