Thanks Bill. :) How many km?

Around 133,000km, Bonester.

It is starting to use a bit of oil though still runs very well. Exhausts are looking a bit fluffy black.

Weird. My ZRX doesn't use any at 127000km. (pretty much the same)

I have removed all other engine bolts and the upper frame rails.

Pics here....

Trying to get the lock nuts off.....

I used an air (rattle) gun, however, to no avail.

I may have to trailer it to the shop.

I said that and various other things not suitable for children to hear, several times, but it didn't help.

big job - surprised it would need a new top-end with those k's? Did you do a compression test first?

No, but I'm using oil, exhausts are fluffy black, and it seems a good opportunity.

Engine is out.

I still have the ZRX to ride.
