Take its head off??

(1/3) > >>

Seamus:
I have taken the engine out of the frame to get some powder coating done and was trying to decide weather to take the head off as I have to clean things up and respray the engine. The unit was running well prior to removal, but whilst the frame is away, should I whip off the head and barrels as it would be easy to bead blast them and repaint in sections, rather than a whole engine.

Thoughts please or have I already talked myself into this.

Cheers

Seamus

dave400:
Do it .... ;)

JonnyB:
It's an easy enough Job, and retiming up is simple too, make sure you get a gasket set and be careful prizing them apart don't be tempted use screw drivers and hammers, oh and locate the 4 hidden screws in the wells between the spark splug holes, if they don't slacken you'll have problems

Bryanj:
Just make sure all is spotlessly clean on reassembly with new gaskets and "O" rings.
Always worth checking how hard the camchain tensioner rollers are as well

ALWAYS fit a new tacho drive seal as its easier with the cover out

Seamus:
Thanks for the info and thoughts. I guess cleaning the head would be easier on the bench. I have a new tacho seal., just have to get a head gasket. Will the barrels be OK or should these come off as well?

Cheers

Seamus
