350x engine install question

[az350x]

I pulled my motor fully assembled. I noticed the manual says to put the motor back in the bike without the valve cover on. Has anyone here installed their motor fully assembled? It took some maneuvering to get it out, I just hope it'll go back in without fighting me too much.

Yes, I've installed them fully assembled. They're a pain in the *** though if you have to do it yourself.

If possible get someone to help. They are tight and need to be rotated somewhat. With two people it's not too bad.
