2-1975 honda cb750 four's
Looking for some advise on the disassembly of the engine on my 1975 cb750. I started out just wanting to do the timing chain, tensioner and guide (and gaskets of course). Once I had the engine out and the cams out I unbolted the head. This is where things got complicated, as I lifted off the head the jug started to come up with the head before it seporated. This didnt seam to be a bad thing since thats the only way I see to get the whole tensioner out. But it stoped comming up after about an inch, it seems to be hard to get it off the pistions and its not like I can easly pry on it.
As I have heard some people mention the pistons should be replaced when pulling the jug, are there not piston rings? I have a hone setup for car engines it may work for the bike too. Since I do have it out and this far apart I dont mind going alittle farther on the build but I dont want to tie the bike up all summer with this build.
Another question, am I correct in assuming I have to have the cam chain pin removel tool? If so is there a better brand than any others out there (most of my stuff is snapon), and what about the piston pin removel tool?
Thanks for any advise.
