Ha, thats funny

Post by Ryan »

well if you have read my previous thread on my new gasket kit i will tell you how its going. Well, its all going good, i got my two motor covers off on the clutch side. I figured since im replacing all the other gaskets that i should replace the gasket in the middle, the one for the crank. It says to do this some things have to be off. And you know how that goes, to do this i have to get the clutch off, to get the clutch off i have to get a flywheel holder to get the clutch off. The flywheel holder is $245. Ha im not paying that. I was thinking like $20. And there compessino tester is $150. Ha again. this is soo gay. How the heck am i gonna get my crank apart or should i just leave it, besides i really want to make sure everything is in tip top shape. Please help

I wouldn't mess with the case half gasket seal. That one isn't going to be a problem.

Let me re-state this. You do not need to split the cases. That seal is fine. The only reason to split the cases is to replace the crank. Its not something to do just because you have a gasket kit. Replace the rest of the gaskets and leave that one alone.

Allow me to say:

DO NOT split the cases. I can't even say that taking off the right side engine cover and clutch cover was a needed step. You may have been better off to get a top end only gasket kit. You could have saved some of your money and not fooled with the oterh stuff, besides the piston replacement steps, of course.
