78 kz750 twin rear cam chain guide/head gasket was created by Mg1221
So I have replaced the piston rings on my 78 kz750 twin. I reassembled the engine without getting the cylinders honed. I have realized I should have done that. My question is. How the hell do you remove the rear cam chain guide?
During reassembly I found it very difficult to install the new head gasket due to having to bend it over the rear cam chain guide. I used a bar clamp from the guide or the other side of the head to torque it forward enough to slip the gasket over it and the 8 bolts.
I'm worried that taking it apart again I might rip the gasket trying to install it again.
Tips anyone?
