    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I'm stripping my gsx 750 katana engine and the barrels are stuck fast to the crank case. I've tried tapping firmly around the seal but it wont break.

I dont want to damage the fins or barrels so does anyone have any top tips for getting them free from the crank case?
 
Did it yesterday on a GS1000 engine, took literally five minutes with a nylon hammer to get it loose, didn't feel like it was going to budge at first but did in the end. Whatever you DON'T PRY!
 
Ok I was just being a little too careful. Once I gave it a few proper wacks it came off a treat.


Thanks.
 
Good to hear, had the same problem with my GS1150 engine this week, I was hammering away with my $3 nylon/rubber hammer for a while u8ntill I aparently wore through the rubber with the edges of the cooling fins, exposing the iron nut under it and broke a fin! :evil:

Hopefully the guy boring and honing it can weld the piece back on.
