Separating top end from bottom end in one piece?
philward:
I think the confusion is what degree of 'I don't wanna take the entire top end apart piece by piece again' - does Alex want to leave head/barrel/pistons together or just head/barrels? I personally think the former would be best and just taking cam out so that crank can be withdrawn to facilitate primary chain withdrawal?
Bryanj:
Correct Ken
Sesman:
Just checked my dismantled engine. You are correct, rods off as the pistons will not pass the webbing.
Bryanj:
Just for info later 500 you can fit 550 cylinders on but early ones the crankcase holes are too small
Sesman:
Apologies for straying of topic, but did I read recently that if using the Vesrah gasket set not to use the 2 x O rings provided for the cylinder head oil control valve?. Do I just purchase two Honda items instead?
