Swiss Toni Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 (edited) Probably. Take the cams out first. That'll also allow you to renew camchain and guides, if out of spec. Edited May 22, 2019 by Swiss Toni Quote Link to comment
Duckndive Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 (edited) Slacken the cam chain and You can push the top shells out with a screwdriver lolly pop stick enough to get a grip on them... as you have found codes are on back of cases .. but best to check clearance's of the new ones with plasti-gauge before finally bolting the cases up Edited May 22, 2019 by Duckndive Quote Link to comment

jonny1bump Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 (edited) Take the cams out, if your cam chains jumps a sprocket that would be real bad news. Short cuts do not always work out. The amount work involved is minimal to give you clear access does not make sense not to do this. Edited May 22, 2019 by jonny1bump 1 Quote Link to comment
