Not a great deal to report today. Mostly removing ancillaries from the engine, and removing the centre exhaust silencer which turned out to have a hole in it. Luckily the excellent folk at A8parts had a full system in stock and were able to cut it to the exact length needed to fit with Vera's Supersport back box so dodged a bullet there!
I also removed the LPG injectors from the old engine. You can see the LPG adapters just underneath the original petrol injectors:
Pretty neat little things actually, which save you from having to drill the inlet manifold. I don't like the way the fuel rail is suspended on nuts and bolts though so I will tidy that up
The old engine all nekkid
I had to adjust my engine and gearbox separatey thing to fit the manual gearbox
Once the engine and 'box were split I cleaned up the gearbox and removed all the clutch fork stuff as that's all being replaced with new along with the clutch and flywheel.
Lots of o-rings and things coming tomorrow so I can reattach all the original water pipes etc to the new engine and start putting it back together
