Look at all that room in there. The Eldo is no small block, that's for sure. How many times have you done it before? Impressive familiarity - no need for notes or photos either!

Too many times Malik. I know all the shortcuts and can just throw all the parts in a heap as I know exactly where everything goes.

But as some folks have been known to say: Pride goeth before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall

I had to take it out again today because............ .......I'd left out the &%$@##@ pressure plate cup. Yesterday I had the whole thing completely bolted up, toolboxes, side tins, seat and tank all in place, ready to ride, then I noticed the darn missing piece lying on the floor.

I was lying in bed thinking about it - couldn't sleep, so I got up, tore it all apart once more and removed and replaced the gearbox once again, starting at 1AM. 

Everything is working fine now, except............. ................... The Saga continues.

I have assembled more than one engine only to find another pars box with a part that should have been inside he engine cases!! My Benelli 650 restoration last year comes to mind, oh well we learn from these things, supposedly... Impressive how quick you can get the transmission out!

Good work!  While watching, I was thinking that you had just torn this apart.
