Literature needed to remove a top end

[bbap]

This is gonna be a challenge for me for sure, but I need some assistance in removing the heads and then the cylinders from my 305. I've never worked on a 4-stroke and it looks a little daunting. My motor is stuck and I've done the PB Blaster for about 10 days. Engine has been removed and is on my bench.

Is there some literature available (free or cost), that will help me step by step?

Looking for some suggestions. I see a fair amount of stuff on eBay, but you guys know what's best.
Suggestions?

Steve

There is plenty information already here on this forum and I suggest you order Bill Silver's restoration guide for this project. You can order it from this site and well worth it for folks like yourself. In the mean time you can start by removing the eight acorn nuts on top, lift the top cover off. If you are extremely lucky you "may" find the chain link near the top of the cam sprocket or you can remove the chain tentioner and "luck" will show it there, or if not you may have to cut the chain. The head comes right off. Oh yeah, the two nuts below the spark plugs. Then you can better know how severe the pistons are frozen in there. If you want, PM me your phone # and I can talk you through some things. These engines are really quite simple so don't let them intimidate you. Merry Christmas,,,,,Rusty

Try this site: http://www.rivetrestorations.com/

They have a service section that has manuals for our bikes. It's a good free start. Most on here would recommend purchasing the Bill Silver books from the marketplace.

1. Eight acorn's out
2. Top cover off
3. I was unlucky at the top and the side. I cannot see it.
4. Two nuts and washers removed
5. I removed the chain tensioner

Is this just a standard '35' chain?

Thanks! I've ordered Bill Silver's book from the library and printed out the relevant pages from the fiche from the link (thanks!). I'll order the CD shortly for more reference, but books belong in bed or the bathroom and that's probably too much information to share!!

Remove the oil pump and look there. .......................lm

Yes, the bottom end (nice call!) on, it - should have it off in 20 minutes!
