Getting the cylinder head off
Posted: Wed Jun 02, 2010 10:52 am
Hi there, I'm new to the forum and have just bought a FZR 600 3HE 1993. Unfortunately, one of the spark plugs has worn the thread in the cylinder head and I can't get it in. There's a garage that's offered to helicoil it for £12 but I have to take the cylinder head to them. I'm a bit of a noob with engines but am keen to learn to do stuff myself. My question is how do I get the head off? I've taken the airbox, carbs and the top cover off the cylinder but am lost on how to take it off? I can't see any screws or anything that would split it so I can take it off. Any help would be much appreciated, I've been trying to do this all day and am not getting anywhere!
