Message: [QUOTE="D36-108A, post: 1225395, member: 37268"] I took it to the local Honda shop, who were familar with stuck RC valve shafts. They got it out by applying heat, penetrating lubricant, and I don't know what else. Hear no evil, see no evil, pretend they are using a special puller tool not a big hammer. BTW, first time apart in 4.5 years. I haven't added up the hours. Neither piston nor bore were significantly worn; I'll measure the clearance later. There was a wear spot in the cyl above the ex bridge, the rest had really nice crosshatching. The valves are going to need oven cleaner and a bead blaster. Or new ones if they are cheap. I've got a Wiseco ready to go. Wondering why I should drill it if the stock piston doesn't have a hole at the ex bridge. [/QUOTE]
