ive got a 97 buell M2, the seal on the front head is going fast and the rear is catching up fast. would i need to drop the engine to do this? or could i do it myself? also is there an aftermarket upgrade that would last longer and give me better compression? thanks for your help | ||

Could you tell us what seal needs replacing please. Thank you | ||

Probably means the head gaskets... | ||

No you don't need to drop the motor to replace the upper gaskets. But if you take the head off I recommend that you replace the base gasket. Joe | ||

Ummm ... "drop the engine"? Obviously, if you remove the front head you are going to have to support the engine. But, no, it doesn't have to come out. http://www.nrhsperformance.com/ekitbuell1200.shtml I did the kit; luv it. | ||

im sorry yes i meant the rocker box gaskets. | ||

No need to drop engine to replace rockerbox gaskets. You will need a shortened (cut off or ground down) Allen wrench in order to access one rockerbox screw that is located directly underneath a frame member. | ||
