Take as long as you need, looks like it's going to be top quality when it's finished

Totally agree with everybody else, finish the 750. As "no class" said the chain alignment conundrum can be solved, as will any other problems that arise. The amount and quality of knowledge on these hallowed pages is truly OSSUM

They had one of these on their stand as well in chrome. Worth buying a bike just to put it on
I like this a lot! Do they make them to fit a GSX750es and where can I get one?

Looks like you all had a GREAT time, wish I could have been there (maybe next year?) Congratulations to OSS winning show bikes
Is the red GSX ES the one built by Simon Francis of SF SERVICES? If so does anyone have his contact details, or is he on here? thanks.

Thanks everybody all info given is greatly appreciated
. Thats right Toni Oil cooled engines go in but tank has to raised and then side panels altered, Scotty is on with one on here but not heared anything for a while.Hope you enjoyed your San Miguel & pizza.
Had look at the link Captain but will probably go with standard engine as cheaper option. Like that shock though.

aircooled 1100 engine does not fit in the 750ES frame.
Was worried about that, what is the reason it won't fit?
Waiting for obvious answer now.................Cos It's too big! Seriously though is it too tall or what?
-
I've found a ES engine on Eblag for £165, so that be a plan, unless I find a 1100EFE engine first.

SOMETHING I DID,HOW DARE YOU! In hindsight, like Danm54 said hanging it from the centre probably wasn't a good idea. I've never known a head as solidly stuck as that the only way it was comming off was as a casualty of war!

OH SHITE!!!! head's cracked.
Looks like I need another cylinder head.
Don't suppose anybody's got an 1100 EFE engine to sell me that would cheer me right up
-
Oh YES the head's off!!!

Thanks guy's for all this advice, situation so far is the engine is hanging from shed roof, hopefully weight of engine and gravity will have some effect?
Good idea with the rope or diesel though will try that tomorrow.

You emphatically do not have to remove the cylinder studs to get the head off - no matter how claggy they are! There are 12 nuts and one M6 screw - if these are all on the bench it is just gasket sticksion holding them together. A dead blow hammer aimed upward or a carefully applied pry bar across the joint between the fins and twisted NOT smacked with a hammer usually breaks the seal! Trying to remove cylinder studs prior to removing the head would try the patience of a saint as there is little enough thread to get one nut on!
Thanks I will leave it soaking and will get a dead blow hammer and try that

I had this problem with my GS1000 you have to remove the head studs I kept putting penertrating oil down the studs and tapping them to loosen the crud around the studs.
I managed to remove them all in the end with the help of a bit of heat but it took about 10 days in the end I had to replace a few of the studs as they were a bit damaged but at one point I didn't think it was going to move but it came away in the end l Hope this helps all the best
I tried with stud extractor, but not enough clearance and no luck with two nuts locked together.Patience and penetrating oil required then.Thanks for reply.

dunno but starting 3 topics about it won't really help
Totally agree,looks like sodding track pad thingy button sticking or I was a bit heavy handed thinking about that sodding engine

Has anybody any ideas or tips for removing my cylinder head from my 750 es? I've been pouring diesel and penetrating oil down the studs, but its still stuck solid. Starting to annoy me now, had to come out of the shed because I was starting to look at a SLEDGE HAMMER
