Topic: Splitting the A motor Q?

[Don R]

  Does anyone have tips on splitting the cases on an A motor? I have the cylinders off, they were stuck and judging by gooped gaskets it appears the PO was poking around inside the pan and side cover. This off season I plan to have a look inside. I'm modifying an engine stand to hold the 1/2 case. Is it better to remove the top or bottom?

Bottom.

  Thanks,  I've been off reading the manual. It has some good info, it also shows the open engine and no rods are visible. I  should have looked there first. I especially like the troubleshooting chart that's 4 pages long. It would save a lot of conversation in the tech forums.
  The trans is a lot less scary after looking at the manuals. If it eventually turns into parts it's ok because I paid $40 for it and am using the wheels on another bike.

 Cases split real easy as there are no shift forks. Assembly is a breeze too.

  Thanks Mike. My Dragster's getting a new set of CNC ported and chambered CFE BMF385 heads. I wonder when someone will work up a cnc program for cb750's?   
  I can't wait to have a peek inside.
