cb400F splitting the cases
« on: March 31, 2011, 08:53:00 PM »
I need to split the cases on a 400F engine, but I don't want to pull the cylinders.  Has anyone done this before?  Is there any issue with not pulling the cylinders?

Thanks,
Camelman

Nope, but you cant move the crank or cam chain.

That's fine.  I have something stuck between the cases, and I just realized it after installing and starting the engine.  funny how an enormous oil leak points out the obvious.
