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
