Craig and Luis came over to lend a hand.

First the old maifold went back on as Craig has the grey motor hook that makes putting the engine in a breeze.

Ready to receive...

Craig bolting up. We learnt one thing and that is to bolt the front engine mount to the cross member and not to the engine. It makes it a lot easier to bolt up.

We're in!
