Gents,
Tell me there is a way to get the engine back in the frame without scratching my nice new paint job. Just had a go at lifting it back in, but its kinda awkward and I ended up scratching things before I got it right in. So I stopped, and did some touch-up painting and went away to think about it for a while.

Worked like a charm. Thanks for the fine advice gentlemen. Mick
