Once I remove the nuts holding on the head and remove the head, I am left with the four head studs that go all the way through the head, the barrel and into the crank cases.
I am trying to get those studs out, one of the four came out quite easily, but I am getting to the point where the amount of force I am exerting on them is approaching the point where the studs will snap.
I am using good tools - proper stud extractors - so I am getting a very good grip on them, but to no avail.
What I do is to get the two nuts on the thread tighten them together by turning them the opposite way to each other,then I have a spanner on the bottom nut and undo the stud.If you take the studs off you will be able to get the crankcase apart.I'm guessing you'll see more problems in trying to get the piston out.I feel that trying is only taking up time for you to see that there will be nothing savable.Cylinders,pistons and cranks really aren't that hard to find.
