Taking engine out burning oil

<< < (4/16) > >>

Bryanj:
not if the valve guide has been reamed out too much, it would mean another replacement job

hairygit:
Plus if the frame has not been modified the rocker cover cannot be removed with the engine in place.

MarkCR750:
I keep seeing references to "the rope trick", to be honest I had no idea what it was so I've googled it, cmon guys how the heck is this going to help? 🙁

hairygit:
It involves putting the cylinders you are working on to just before top dead centre, the stuffing rope through the spark plug hole, as much as you can get in, then turn the engine to top dead centre to crush the rope, then when you remove the valve springs the valves don't fall down as the top holds them up.

hairygit:
Sorry, auto correct sucks, the ROPE  holds them up
