Posts: 90	how remove head 12/09/17 at 11:14:48 Can the head be removed while the engine is in the bike ? i have gotten the valve cover off and i almost got the head accept the longest bolt wont let me get it off. can anybody walk me through how to do it? I have seen pics on the forum before of it removed while still on the bike i think.

This last go around I started tearing the motor down in the frame hoping the problem was up top... Just getting the valve cover off was a big enough PITA without scratching or dinging any critical surfaces... I would never attempt a head removal in the frame. It is too darn easy to pull the engine to risk damage trying to contort, flex, wiggle, ting, tang, and bing bang the head around trying to clear the studs.
