DMT - Day minus 69 - Trouble with my head

This is how it goes with the Africa Twin engine




Freaking hoses everywhere!


The biggest pain with all of this is getting all the emissions tubing out and labeled so that it will all fit back together correctly



The hoses are all disconnected and the valve covers are off.



The rear head come off pretty easily, slipping through the frame rails




No such luck with the front head. The head slides up on the studs and runs into the frame down tube. 

The two options are: 
  • Unscrew the studs and hope they will seat properly when I put them back in.
  • Pull the engine.

I'm thinking that even though pulling the engine is (a lot) more work it is the more prudent of the two choices.

Let's see what happens in the morning.
