63-Coupe
XS400 Addict
I am approaching the point where it will soon be time to pull the engines on my 2 bikes so I can do the swap. I have been standing there looking at them and trying to decide the best method. If they were small block Chevy's I would have no problem but since I have never done this type of work before I thought it would be prudent to ask you folks who have done this in the past if there are any tricks or tips.
They are both 1982 XS400SJ's with original engines and about 200 numbers apart on the VIN numbers. So far everything seems identical and there is no evidence of Bubba having wrenched on them.
Should I line up a second set of hands before I begin?
Are there any tools, jacks, or lifts that may help?
Any rough idea of what kind of weight am I looking at?
Any pitfalls?
Any comments will be appreciated.
