Ducati 450 Mark 3

Fitting the cylinder and cylinder head

The engine is starting to look like an engine again. Today I put the cylinder and cylinder head back on their places again. I renewed all the gaskets on the way. At this stage it is important to align all the gears connecting the valves to the ignition to ensure correct timing of the ignition. The last gear which controls the ignition has a dot and a line. The line is for this 450 cc model, the dot is for all other models I believe.

I bought some more washers etc. which should arrive tomorrow. Once they come I can tighten all the remaining nuts, renew the final gaskets and close the engine for now. I am not quite ready to start the engine though. The battery I bought has not yet arrived.
