General Discussion / Re: V7 Engine Removal/Swap
« Last post by malik on Today at 08:14:04 PM »I've found the Workshop Manual invaluable. Download it & print out the relevant pages to keep beside you as you go (tick off & make notes). The workhop/service manual often comes in 2 parts - you'll need both as the split is in the engine section. Note that the sections are not necessarily sequenced in a logical order so you might have to jump around a bit, so printing out those sections you are going to use makes sense. The "Engine from Frame" section is complete - gives blow by blow instructions.
There is also available some videos made by the factory that are useful, even though some of the difficult steps may be glossed over, and the engine they use looks like it's never seen any oil. I forget the source at the moment, but they are out there.
Don't be afraid of taking a break once things get awkward, and have a supply of your beverage of choice available. It's a guzzi, designed for someone with the hands of a dwarf surgeon, the flexibility of an acrobat & the strength of a giant. Having an offsider for an occasional helping hand helps.
Good luck & have fun.
