Engine build series following the build of a Ducati Testastretta 749 engine from a collection of parts
In this episode I fit the engine head bolts which will allow us to fit the cylinders and heads, I also build up the vertical head and take the shim clearances
I have tried to reduce the amount of talking in this video, hope it works better :)
I have only focused on the 1 head to stop it being repetitive and hopefully a concise video
I also left out measuring the shims themselves as I covered this in Video 4 of the Thunderbike build series
This engine was fitted across the 996R, 998R, 749 and 999 range of bikes
The next videos will show the adding of the cylinders, fitting the heads, fitting of all the side covers before fitting and setting up the new belts
