Head question???

[balou34]

My engine is appart and I want to take all the dowl pins out between the head and the cylindre, somehow there are three that are stock big time. Any help or trick to loosen those up?

Thanks

Try a little heat with a propane torch and spray penetrant. If that doesn't work, clamp a vice grip on (put the nose of the vice grip inside the dowel) then put a long thin punch down thru the stud hole in the head, and drive it out. The dowel will be destroyed but... out! They are cheap and your local Honda shop should have piles of them, a common size.

Just wondering, do you have to replace the head and cylindre bolts with new ones when its time for re-assembly? Too avoid any suprises later on.

Thanks
