The "side" technique is probably the best and safest by yourself.

) I had carefully torqued everthing every thread had been cleaned and was easily able to be run in and out by hand etc. I was fantastically pleased
, I lifted the motor into the chassis (by myself 8O ) installed the sump, installed the rocker cover, carefully torqued all the engine mounts, fitted the carbs;having cleaned and manually synched them, the ignition, cleaned and checked every electrical connection, carefully routed all the wiring, zip tied it all neatly and mostly hidden. Thought to myself, Hmm just one final check before I fire her up!!!!(insert twilight zone music here
) I removed the ignition cover put a 19mm socket on it and slowly turned the motor over, I got two-thirds of the way to a full revolution and the motor locked up!!!! (insert primal scream) It had taken an entire weekend to get to that point ( I started with the motor assembled on my bench) My wife and children scuttled away in fear of there lives!!! 8O . I had the motor out and back on the bench dis-assembeled in half an hour!!!! Without removing the sump the breather or rocker cover!!! I have no idea how!!! 8O the motor WILL NOT fit in or out with out removing at least the breather cover!!! I know I tried to get it back in with it fully assembled and it will not go into the frame.
