Without dropping the motor out of the frame?  955i Tiger.

I need to replace my head with a good used one I picked up.  Mine has the soft inlet valves which keep closing down the gap and running like crap.  I have the new head, cleaned up and serviced.  Just deciding weather to wait for winter or if I can just yank the head in place and do it now.

don't forget to  reseal the cylinder liners with hylomar at the bases or it could leak coolant into crankcase

bike bandit for the hylomar 30 bucks
