With bible in hand...
I set about taking the engine to pieces. First I removed the engine from the frame
and then after knocking up an engine stand.....
I could start unbolting stuff!
The first problem i ran into came after trying to remove a tight cylinder head nut and ending up rounding it off. The position of the nut couldn't have been any worse.
The indent on top is were i tried to make a groove on top using a chisel then use a flat head screw driver to get it off which didn't work then the small hole you can see is the remains of my attempt to weld an Allen key to the top then use that as leverage but that didn't work either.
If anyone out there needs advise on how to remove a rounded off nut or bolt here's mine...
This may look like another cheesy American gimic but it got the nut off with ease and i couldn't be happier with my Grip Tites.
With the Cylinder head off the rest off the dismantling was all straight forward. Internally everything looked in good working order apart from one half of the crank casing which had a small crack and needed to be professionally repaired.
