Engine in AK

Got an email from Terry, who is building an AK, asking if I would help install his engine. So a quick trip over to Pateley Bridge in the pouring rain.

His workshop is so tidy, made mine look positively bomb like!

So after a bit of prep, he shifted the engine hoist round to the front of the chassis.

Me stood with hands in pocket. Easy life!
After a few huffs and puffs and a few hours of pushing, pulling and lowering, the engine went in to place. Brilliant stuff!

Terry thanked me for my help, but I seemed to be the king of standing around (see first photo for proof!).
