1978 CB550K Cam Chain Guide Removal
« on: August 14, 2008, 09:13:14 AM »
Hi,

I'm trying to remove the cylinders from my '78 CB 550K and I can't seem to be able to remove the Cam Chain Guide. The manual says to lift up slightly and turn it 90 degress and remove upward.  My chain guide won't raise up enough for the pins to clear the slots so it can be rotated. When I look at the bottom of the guide with the cylinders raised I see the lower pins hitting the bottom of the cylinder chain slot preventing the guide from raising up far enough.

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks,

Carey
