To do or not to do?

On the 400, the engine can be lifted out of the frame by two people once everything has been disconnected, breather cover and sump removed. There's no need to lay the bike on its side. Just tape up the bottom frame tubes if you care about paintwork. A small wooden  box and battons helps to rest it on when it's half out.

If you're going to do the repair yourself, consider a very thorough clean, upside down on wooden pallet or similar, degreasing with stiff brushes to get into all the details around the crankcase joints etc cleaned of residual dirt/grit that accumulate over time.

You don't want to drop anything into the inverted case when you remove the lower crankcase in getting access to the components. 

They're, all these era four cylinder Honda engine, not difficult to carry out this type of repair, simply diligent dismantle and reassembly procedure in getting to the part you need to replace.

With any parts you need to hand plus joint sealant and any cover gaskets etc, probably within two hours is easily achieved for the repair after engine is out and ready to work on. Certainly less complicated than often imagined.
