So in the last few days, I managed to start the tear down process. I've pulled the gas tank, carbs, most of the engine mount bolts, forward controls and other various non-related items. Yesterday I finally pulled the clutch cover and the oil pan. It took me so long only because I think I was scared of what I would find. The problem is, I havent found anything yet. The clutch basket looks good and I can still shift it into gear. All the gears and crank and rods and pistons, or what I can see from pulling the oil pan, look good. I guess now I am going to have to start pulling the clutch and the outer transmission parts today. My question is, is it possible to only work on the lower end without pulling the top end such as the cylinders and valves and the like?? I have great compression and my timing is on so being a newbie to engine overhauls, I dont want to mess with any more than I absolutely have to. Any and all comments and suggestions are more than welcome.....
Thanks,
