Head and barrel removal

Forums

Is it possible to remove the head and barrel as a unit? I'd prefer to fiddle reseating the pushods on the bench then stick the lot back in together, or am I just being lazy? Barrels are coming off for repainting either way, thanks Paul.

Yes it is possible on the 750 with standard barrels but not the 850 or 750 with 850 style throughbolt barrels. I have done it twice once on the bench and once with the engine in the frame but I only did it to save dismantling a sound leak free head joint. If you are going to take the head off the barrel which it sounds like you are doing then I think it would be easier to put the barrel on firstthen the head.
