How to take of sticky cylinder head?
« on: June 30, 2006, 12:33:08 AM »
Hey everybody!! I have 1987 750 F-II. I am replacing head gasket. I took off valve lifters, cam shaft, cam chain, and all nuts and bolts. However, the head doesn't like to apart from the cylinder block. Please tell me how to pop this thing!!

Thanks

Undo the bolt/nut that you missed  ::).  Beyond that, big rubber mallet.

Remove the cam towers, then the rubber seals underneath, shine a torch through the holes and you"ll see the 6mm bolts underneath that secure the head to the cylinder block. ;D

I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

After you are SURE you've removed ALL the bolts, there are little slots between the head and cylinder on each end that Honda kindly provided so that you can insert a screwdriver between the two and pry them apart.
