Tuning my DR750s on Chrome

[sergechronos]

Would you guys get the cargo insurance? Maybe for $1500? The core on the heads would be a lot of they get lost or damaged.

I'd totally offer to take it up to NY with me, but I'm afraid MO would require swinging a bit out of the way to grab it

I'd bolt the heads back to the block honestly, strap it all down and probably wrap it in cellophane (keep any external debris from getting in there). Bolt it all together, lay it on it's side using some foam and wood to level it out and cover it, and play it safe.

Yeah, I snugged all the head bolts back in and wrapped it in plastic. Used some wood underneath to support by girdle. Also put some pig mat underneath it in case there is any liquid that gets shaken out during shipping. Ratchet strapped to pallet.

nice workspace loaned by my wife:



With the car out of the garage and the floor somewhat cleaned and hosed off it was a lot more fun to break the engine down.

she's all strapped up and I just have to wait for the uship auction to end or to get a bid I like. Really hoping they can get down to at least 350.

Might add another little strap for good measure and I have to find a place to put my oil cooler, but pretty much ready:

Hmm..Wonder if you could fit it in the valley between the heads?

Driver will be none to happy if he can't get a pallet jack under that pallet. Probably end up putting your pallet onto a full sized pallet so they can move it around easierr/quicker.

It is exactly the same as a 24" by 24" pallet, which is what I specified on the shipping website. The two ends you can't see are wide open.

[JasonY]

I get 24" wide pallets often at work...and they are all on a full size pallet, lol. Hopefully the driver isn't a whiner like the ones that deliver to me are. A normal sized pallet jack doesn't fit under a 24" pallet.

if he isn't smart enough to bring a pallet jack that has adjustable forks or built for 24" pallets when I specify it is a 24" pallet I don't know what to tell him. I'll have my engine hoist here anyway if necessary.

if you guys look close you can actually see the combustion chamber shape on the middle rear cylinder, definitely was hitting the head.
