Head gasket!

[ericksonj0705]

Is there a way to remove the head without taking out the Cam. Whene i was younger i just needed to remove a link in the cam chain but i can seem to find one with this engine. Is there an easy way to do this without messing with the timing, any youtube video out there?

I used to have a customer who blew out her crank about every 6 months. I would grind off
a side plate and lift off the complete top end with cylinders intact. A master link from Honda CB 350, CB450 is the
replacement one to order.

Thanks. Some else suggested that! I know i should cover the internal part while doing this but some of the dust will still git into the parts. This wouldn't be an issue?

Pack a rag in next to the camshaft. Not much grinding involved. Place a magnet also
if you are so worried. You will still need a base gasket and you will possibly break
your piston rings upon reassembly due to extra weight & unbalance.
