Thanks for your input! I know I saw somewhere on the forum where someone suggested just tilting the motor forward, but I can see what you mean if you need to remove the carb etc. I will just drop the motor.

Here's the before and after photo's

So here is the bike with the leaky head and leaky gas petcock... It's not quite done because of those issues and a little wiring for the additional LED lights etc. If I could just figure out how to get to the head without dropping the motor! I can't wait to see how it runs!

Torquing heads with the motor in the bike.

I have a heavy oil leak at the head gasket after rebuilding the top end on my CA77 and the motor is in the bike already.

I used a propane torch to heat it up and I finally knocked square nut loose. This allowed me to get the top plate up enough to get the lower bolts in. I tightened everything back up and hopefully nothing is out of whack. Is there a bearing adjustment I should be aware of? It is turning more easily a...

I originally took the forks off by taking the lower bolts out and unbolting the top from the plate (leaving the plate in place).
