I'm expecting my frame and assorted bits back from the powder coaters soon and I'm trying to figure out how to proceed with the build. I'm trying to figure out whether to install the engine as is and try to get it running to check it out or whether to gut up and tear it down and rebuild it before it goes in the frame. I'm doing a frame up build. Engine is a late 72. Norton owners club says it should have superblends based on seriel number. Clock shows 12,000 miles. Sump was full of oil and engine seems to turn smoothly with good compression. Bike wasn't super rusty, so I don't believe it sat outside much, but when it last ran, I have no idea.
Also how can I hook up an oil pressure guage to one of these engines.
