Engine Splitting - HELP!!!!!!

Ok guys Does any1 know of a way to split the engine without a using the flywheel puller method? I was attempting to change the head and piston without installing the new FCC but the sizes are different so i have to install the new crank...Also if any1 has any tips feel free

EASY. dont even need any special tools

take the engine case bolts out (4 of them) then remove the sprocket from the clutch bell.

bolt the clutch bell back on

thread a long bolt through the clutch bell - it will press on the crank and force the cases apart, no damage done

only works on clutch bells with an m8 or bigger thread though. if its m6 the bolt will go into the crank itself and wont push it out. but i havent seen an m6 clutch bell on a cag yet. maybe im just lucky :P

ive tapped it out with a rubber mallet a few times when im desperate as well. but i prefer not to do that incase the crank shafts get bent any.

good luck

Thanks for the speedy response gr8 news i dont need any specialist tools!!..iI dont suppose you happen to have any pics showing what you've just explained? This is my first attempt at summat this big.

I would check into the puller, anyway .... they're only like fifteen or twenty bucks, and are very helpful to have around.

Good idea on that, hyzer .... haven't tried that way before. (Then again, I'm lazy and just swap clutch bells instead of pinions .... )

ok well im STUCK i actually manged to split the engine case real easy the problem is i cant remove the dam clutch does this mean i need to buy a flywheel puller? cus my hands are well sore from tryin to prise the clutch off.

Not to worry mission complete thanks for the help anyway guys

Cool beans ...... how's it running?

Well i should of put Part 1 of mission complete:P

Ive rebuilt the engine added new Fcc and fitted my hp carb and race clutch and carbon reeds.

part 2: send my head&piston to boosted306 then once its returned its all gravy baby

Nice ...... very nice. Boosted'll set ya up good - the man really knows his stuff.
