Don't know. I was guessing. You make a good point about the old engine staying behind. Makes me wonder what your supposed to do when your engine blows up abroad. Is shipping it back "as is" the only legal option?
Im glad the question came up ... so as to think it out beforehand.
In South America, on my moto, if it really just had to have a new engine, I think Id likely try to hire a local truck to take me and the bike to the border and push it across ... one border at a time.
In the old days, when you bought a new engine case from Harley, the dealers all had punches to stamp your engine number on the new case . . .
