GS750 barrels stuck...

[turbosaurus]

Anyone else had to be as drastic to get their barrels off their crankcase? Never had as much trouble with any other engine I've worked on. It came down to having to do this!

Might try making a 750 boxer engine out of what's left! Lol! Be fun for a go cart...

Did you check the condition of the piston rings after you managed to get the barrels off? 

My guess is a few of them are seized solid judging by the battle you had.

I've never NOT had a struggle,  but never anything that bad!

Or maybe I'm more patient?

Pistons were moving freely, studs came out no problem at all, problem was some muppet figured JB Weld would make a good base gasket! Still, my 850 replacement's should arrive on tuesday so every cloud and all that!

Got my lovely new (to me) 850 barrels, must say I'm impressed with the condition of them.

Ime having the same problem with my cylinder barrels tried putting it in a oven for 2 hours baring it back and front still can’t get them off so it looks like ime going to have to destroy the cylinder block might cut the crankshaft because I’ve got a spare one and spare cylinder block with pistons but the block on the crancases i can’t get off is really good because these engines are getting few and far between any help i know it’s muc and crap in the studs I’ve even made up tools to go down the studs got most of them done but the four middle ones are proving to be the problem ones head and hardcore thanks everyone for reading this
