				Reinstalling Motor - Checklist?
			 
			
			I am reinstalling motor after most of the past 5 months on a stand.  Did clutch, oil leaks and new exhaust and want to make sure I do not forget anything.  Anybody have a checklist they developed or used when reinstalling their engine on an SC?

			Just look at each area where there are connections and make sure you torqued everything.  It's easy to miss the oil scavenge line and things like the throttle, ground strap, reverser lights.   I put a bag on the steering wheel and don't remove it until the oil tank has been refilled.

			I've had mine out twice and I'd suggest to "very carefully" go backwards in your Bentley.  Assuming that you as I did found that to be the only true step by step that didn't miss anything.   I made a mistake my second time that stopped me for two days, A missed plug on the fuel injection that was me "NOT" being careful going backwards checking the steps carefully and thoroughly.

			Here's my list. It's a bit out dated as I now have a different (3.6L) engine vs. my old 2.7L, but the concepts are the same. . . I've also hand written notes/corrections/bolt & wrench sizes etc... on my hard copy. Handy to have as a double check etc.
