Well, got the engine dropped. Now just need to pull it from under the car.
Once that is done, I can/will post the obligatory "in the engine bay" pic.
Only problem with projects like this is that it started as the clutch needing to be replaced. Now there is all kinds of ideas... Engine detailing, cleaning up and refinishing valve covers and heat exchangers, new motor/transmission mounts, etc...
K'aching... Luckily I have an understanding wife. She hears all the plans and $$$ amounts and just says that it is my toy and hobby, take my time and do what I want
(as long as it is not buying or getting on another street bike).
