Heat siezed engine, rebuilding blah blah blah. Can't get the head off. The 4 internal bolts and the 5 external are removed. WF, how do i get it off. someone please help. thanks
Did you give it a few love taps with a soft mallet? It needs a little jarring to get ti loose.
its gotten more then a few love taps haha. wont seem to crack.
Put a few of the head nuts back on, finger tight less half a turn, pull the plug caps off........then crank it over on the starter...et voila...compression will free it off.........it never fails.
heat siezed engine, wont crank over at all.
Tough-shaZam! then.
Try smacking it with a soft mallet horizontally, one side at a time, DONT lever against the fins or try and smack it upwards for obvious reasons.
i'll give it a go. Still open to all and any suggestions.
Rubber tipped non-OSHA blow gun nozzle into the spark plug ports after removing the cams.
Reinstall the head bolts as previously stated. :)
thanks for the help guys, we used some traditional wooden shims. I need a new engine, what will fit into a 2005 gs500f with no issues? 04, 05, 06 engines right?
