Spark plug too close to frame? If it's at an angle to the piston and pointing backwards, you can turn the head 180-degrees so the spark-plug points towards to the front of the bike. Might give you enough room. Give is more details! Engine type? Bike model?
Hello Aric, their is also shorter spark plugs that you can use that may give you the clearance you need?
It always help to post pics when there an issue that needs to be resolved . And to answer your question the easiest frame to put an engine and it's some kind of a beach cruiser.
Good job Aric.
We all have those moments, and trust me, there will be more of them.

Ayup, what Dodge Dude said! All the really great and experienced builders have some great stories about such stuff.
Cool part about it is you probably saved some one else from going out and getting another bike.
Looking forward to seeing your build Aric.

tighten too much and pull a head stud out.
not tighten enough or unevenly and your head gasket will leak.
Pro mechanics use torque wrenches.
I lived without a torque wrench for a while. Just make sure all the head bolts are tightened evenly, and make them nice and snug without feeling like they're too tight.
I didn't use a torque wrench for most of the time I've owned this bike. lmao
Tighten in an x-pattern, then go a 1/4 turn past tight-ish.
