I have a disassembled engine with all new relevant parts. Its clean inside and out. It has new jugs and pistons, PMA and pamcopete ignition, electric and kick start, everything has already been pitched and replaced with new or tested to be in spec. Basically its completely ready to go back together.
My question is.. how long should it take for an experienced xs650 motor builder to reassemble it? Not a back yard mechanic or tinkerer, but someone who has worked on these engines and knows them?
Im strictly interested in a reasonable amount of "on the clock" assemble time.
Ive been told 15 hours. That seems way high to me as Ive seen guys field strip a 4 cylinder sprite race engine is a fraction of that time.
Thanks for the input.
