So, no issues one way or the other (top end vs. no top end) to R&R the motor from the frame.  Good to know.  Mine is an '05 so hopefully none of the "later" issues to deal with.  One other question - I learned there is no gasket between the cases.  What is the best way to seal them?

Thanks again.


No need for gasket between the cases on the older bikes.  No fluids pass between the cases that need to be sealed.

There are o-rings on the dowel pins on the 05 cases, the oil returns from the top end through the case into the camchest.

We use Threebond 1184 to seal cases.

I read his post too quickly.  Thought he was asking about engine case to transmission case.

Yeah but you're smarter than me.  That's why I don't get paid to fix 'em!  :drink: :2vrolijk_21:

I've been saying bad words at one of my own for the last two hours.  So tonight doesn't count in that "most of the time."  :huepfenlol2:

Hondabond, Yamabond, there are others. Just Make sure the surfaces are super clean.

Loctite 518 it is.  Easy to find.  Got it stripped down to the cases - hopefully pulling and splitting them tomorrow.  Top end looks good no marks or scoring - can still see the crosshatch in the cylinders.  A bit of carbon on the piston tops and heads but nothing concerning.  Came apart pretty easy, some bolts were a bit tight (together for 13 years) but overall not too bad.

Changing main crank bearings.  Is it necessary to use the HD bearing remove/install tools or will the old freeze the bearings warm the cases trick work.  George's Garage has the tool for around $100 which could be a necessity to save $1000 cases.

Thanks

Pulled the oil hoses from the oil cooler and the trans today.  Both lines from the trans just fell apart as I was taking them off........  Guess its a good thing I needed to do this.  $10 to replace them.  Went to pull the lines from the oil cooler and I see one of them has a split in it so they'll have to go also.  Priced them - $86.00!!!!  For two 4 inch hoses!!!  I see they are "molded" to make the bend from the housing to the cooler but really, $86??

Are there any other options for these??

Almost done with the motor.  All cleaned out and reassembled to the point it can go back in the frame.  S&S cam plate and oil pump, AMS HyLift lifters, all new bearings and seals.  Other "maintenance" items - replaced a bad exhaust stud and replaced the starter clutch.  Oil cooler is soaking in Seafoam. 

Last thing to clean is the oil pan.  Book says to pull the rear wheel and slide it out the back.  Looks like it may come out the front if I can lift the tranny up to clear the mounting lip.  Anyone have experience with this?  The motor is out so it's pretty easy to get at.  It sure would be easier to slide it forward that to go through all the BS to pull the rear wheel and try to find someplace to support the back of the bike while I pull the pan.

The rebuild hasn't been bad.  Getting the motor out wasn't fun and I'm sure putting it back in won't be either.  Looking forward to being done with this.

Did that one a while ago.  The Cometic seal is much better than the stock one!
