Cylinder head removal (Read 70 times)

KenGLong Senior Member Alliance Member Offline 2002 Savage Posts: 297 Albuquerque, NM Gender:	Cylinder head removal 06/28/09 at 12:02:33 Anyone know if it's necessary to pull the engine out of the frame to remove the cylinder head? I'm referring to the actually cylinder head, not the head cover. Tia, Ken in Albuquerque

On the FireLizard if I remove all the engine mounts except the very rear, I can tilt the engine forward and be able to remove the head with engine still in frame.

Thanks. I'll give that a try.

That saves a bit of work. Too bad the front chain guide can't come out without removing the head. I wonder if the old head gasket can be reused?
