3 cylinder 550
z1100r:
What were numbers 1,2, and 3...?
mickwinf:
other cyls 125 psi so should be ok, will keep you informed, wont be able to take head off for a week or so, have to make a living to pay for this money pit!!
mickwinf:
well i had a bit of time today so decided to take off the head. i got all the bolts and nuts off, but the head refuses to come apart from the cyl barrels, the whole assembly is loose from the crankcase. Any ideas chaps? I have tried tapping with a block of wood and gently levering but no luck. I dont realy want to take engine out again!!
Bryanj:
You have taken out the 10mm headed bolts front and back and the tensioner top bolt havent you? Only ask 'cos i have made the same mistake in the past!!
There ought to be two pry points, one on each end
mickwinf:
yes i took out the bolts you mentioned Bryan, where are the pry points? I think the PO stuck the head gasket with sealer/ cement!
