I have been busy. I waited until 9:00 on Tuesday morning and stopped in at Fuel Moto (they are exactly 7 minutes from my house). They did borrow me the plate only for their bearing installer and the threads are wrong, George’s has smaller diameter rod for pushing and pulling.
They told me a FM the same thing you’ve suggested, freezer and a mallet and go slow. That’s how they did the first who knows how many M8’s before anyone had a tool. So that’s what I did and it work great. Very smooth and wasn’t even scary .
Now we are on to installing the heads, the rest of valve train and exhaust…
Very laborious Labor Day weekend.
thank for all the ideas
