Your bike sounds alot like the one I'm finishing. You can do it...I try to focus on one part at a time and then move to the next. Did you free the engine? Read my thread on unsticking with a breaker bar/chain wrench.....just be real careful.

Regards,

Steve

Not going there. Not until I have at least removed the head to see what's going on in there.

Well you know best for your particular app. Just basing my own work on past 35 years.

Not dissing your abilities or experience... just unwilling to trust that I understand these things fully. In fact, your greater experience makes your method risky for me precisely because I have to understand exactly what "too much" force is (for instance).

Easier when you have a trained feel for it than when you are a newbie to the subject. I have a lot of random mechanical experience, but this is the first engine I've ever set out to tear down completely.

No offense taken. I respect your approach.
