REPLACING ROCKER COVER GASKET

(1/2) > >>

johncam:
I am seeing various opinions about being able to replace the rocker cover gasket on a 750 without taking the engine out of the frame. Does anyone have experience of this? Can it be done?

I would also like to check the head bolt tightness so if it can be done without the engine coming out that would be great!

Welcome to the mad world of the SOHC. Yes, the rocker cover gasket can be replaced without the engine out but, very tricky. And No you can not do the head bolts in the frame , unless you cut the frame.

hairygit:
This has been discussed before, and a few people reckon the rocker gasket can be done in situ, but it is very fiddly, and easy to f*ck up, personally I wouldn't try it. As for the head bolts, if the gasket isn't blowing leave well alone, if it is blowing, it's engine out time! Honda make no mention of retorquing the head once the motor has been run, so they don't think it necessary, and nor do I.

Thanks for the responses, have a much better idea now of what can be done – particularly after looking at the you tube video
