    Hey guys,
    I removed the engine from my Honda CB350 Twin and now I can't get the thing
    back into the frame. I know it sounds wierd but it won't go. I am trying to
    install it from the right side as you are sitting on the bike.
    Does anyone remember how to install one of these engines in the frame ? This
    is pi$$ing me off, I have had 100's of bike engines out before and haven't
    ever had this problem.
    Anyone ?
    Thanks,
    Raz

    I bet I am not getting the right tipping,cocking , installing proceedure but
    I think I have tried every combination.

    Does part of the frame unbolt like some of the larger Hondas? I pulled the
    engine from a CB750 and had to unbolt part for it to come out.

    One thing you can do to make it go in easier is to pad the engine good and
    lay it on it's side. Set the bare frame down over it, install molts, and set
    it up to bolt everything else back on.

    The tongue is the most important part.. if it is too far out, then you will
    never get the motor in, but, stick it out just enough, and it will slip
    right in...
