       Frame/Engine Clearance
       By: patentgeek Date: April 29, 2018, 7:28 pm

       There is very little clearance between my engine and the right
       front downtube.  The front and rear sprockets are aligned, so
       I'm confident the spacers between the engine and frame are in
       the right locations.  And I've put a straight edge on the frame
       tubes, and nothing is bent.
       Is this normal?
       I can take a pic for clarity if the above isn't clear.

       It's probably fine patentgeek. I had my rocker box off yesterday
       to re-torque the head after the top-end rebuild, and there was
       barely enough room to get the oil feed off.
       This is the best photo I can find of that area; I'd fitted the
       head, and the oil feed was still attached to the crankcase, but
       of course had fallen down below the head. There wasn't enough
       room to get it past the head, and I had to remove it entirely,
       and refit from the top.

       Wow, that's really tight. Glad to hear it's not a problem.  One
       less thing to worry about as I pull this NF out of a 30+ year
       slumber.
