D-180 head gasket & valve job

Recommended Posts

D-180, K482 opposed ( like the old BMW motorcycles ) engine. Can I do either a valve job or head gasket change w/out removing the engine ?

Thanks,

Nate

Nobody answered you yet, but the answer is yes.

You can access the head bolts and remove the head easily after you remove the tin from the sides. Getting to gasket is simple enough as the head is now off.

Lapping the valves might be tricky as the head is vertical. Be careful to really clean the grit out after you lap the valves. Don't let any drop into the cylinder.
