Left - Ever wondered how to keep those pesky shafts in the engine from turning while you try to loosen the nuts on them? Here's one solution. Need I say the engine's still in the frame, the chain's on, and the bike is in gear? A long breaker bar helps too. Just remember to save the clutch for last...

Right - Cam chains? We don't need no stinkin' cam chains! I've heard it took Ducati 8 hours to build one of these engines in production...

Updates: Next page shows why the engine was locked up.

The seatbase is useable, hopefully after a little work the tank will be too. The big hang up so far is I haven't got all of the appropriate tools to remove some of the components. Anyone have a good source for Ducati tools?
