exhaust and carb studs

<< < (2/3) > >>

matthewmosse:
If it is moving that much, probably it is just snagging on the threads of the studs or the head gaskett is well stuck and ripping. If a bolt was still in there then it probably won't move that much. Been a long time since I took one appart.

MikeM:
it prises up carb side more, could be snagging on threads.... try again tomorrow

Trigger:
Mike, have you removed all the head stud washers? Sometimes they catch on the threads. It is also hard to remove the head because the barrels will be stuck with the head gasket.

hairygit:
I seem to recall this was known by Honda, if you look on the outside edges of the bottom of the barrels you will see Honda cut in a couple of slots to place prybars/wide blade screwdriver to assist lifting away from the gasket!

I think whatt you are describing happened to me . The problem was that the tensioner mechanism wasn't seating right in the slot in the casing that the base of the tensioner is meant to sit in......  later ... reminder to self when repling tp threads "always read the thread proerly first before replying" "always read the thread proerly first before replying" "always read the thread proerly first before replying" "always read the thread proerly first before replying"  "always read the thread proerly first before replying" "always read the thread proerly first before replying"..... I was thinking that you were saying that the head was getting stuck when putting it back on  :-X
