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

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.
