<<Erm, ask yourself how many engines are installed with the crankshaft above
the combustion chamber!>>
Paul,
About ALL of them that I've built have at a point had the crankshaft above
the combustion chamber.
You may do things differently where you are (meaning no disrespect) but when
assembling an engine on an engine stand here it is the normal practice to
rotate the block so that the crankshaft is on the top. It makes it so much
easier
when fitting the bearings (mains and rods) into place. That approach also
facilitates dropping the crank into place rather than lifting it into place.
How do they assemble engines where you live?
