If you set your motor in again, I would HIGHLY recommend pulling the rack off of #6 (possibly #5 also with the set-back you have) and pulling your pushrods up, marking where they contact your cowl and cut some holes accordingly. Otherwise, if you have to pull the head in frame, you will not be able to get the rear pushrods out and they will have to come out as an "assembly"(??) with the head. This is NOT fun. You may have already considered this, but just in case you hadn't, I wanted to let you know. Those pushrods seem to be never-ending when pulling them up out of the block.
