An excellent example of the old adage, "If you don't first succeed, pry, pry again."

I like the flip flops and the milky fluid out of the primary.  ERC

haaaaaaa   now have them put it together and c  if it works..That's the reason I never let them screw with my car or bike when I lived there. I got to think they were scraping it for parts..I hope.

I did notice the extra care exercised when removing the primary cover, looked like there was an attempt to save the gasket using what looked like an expertly wielded feeler gauge? Attention to detail! ;)

Looks OK to me. What would you do differently? They do this for a living. I didnt see anything broken or screwed up.

There will be those that find things humorous or amusing in life, and those that take offense to that fact. I don't know what else to say. I chuckled a bit when I watched it......sorry. ::)

 "There will be those that find things humorous or amusing in life"

humor at the expense of another,
amusement of the less fortunate who do the best they can with the
resources available to them ?  Must be some form of scatological levity.

It takes a board and multiple pry bars to remove a stubborn cylinder head off of a Bullet......all the while we have a Rooster in the background crowing about something. Definately not what I was expecting when I clicked on the link to see a tear down....but nonetheless, I will assume you're refering to Mr. Rooster? ;)

More interesting to me is how do they work on the ground like that? My knees hurt just watching the video!
