WHERE I'M AT: : I'm doing a complete teardown of a '74 CB550 motor. The engine seized long before I owned it. Also it appears that the engine was painted as one solid unit at one point in it's life. Haven't been able to remove the cylinder head – pistons won't move. I soaked them down in WD-40 and while that has penetrated completely, still no joy. Plan B was to separate the crankcase and try to dismantle from the bottom up.
NOW: According to the manuals (I have two different), I have taken off all the components that need removing, but I still can't get the crankcase to separate.
Any one have any useful ideas or tricks?
