CYl Head Removal
Just pulled the heads on an 08 Rocker (engine in chassis). I am assuming as long as I don't disturb the cylinders by turning the engine over and am careful cleaning up for re-assembly there shouldn't be any issues when all is back together... Correct ??? Thanks...

Correct; however, just to make sure the cylinders are not disturbed, get youself a piece of copper tubing that will slide over the cylinder stud, place a washer on top and install two head bolts just a bit more than finger tight.

if you get some leaking around the bases you will wished you would have put in new orings at the oil return and around the spigot. You can easily remove the cylinders while leaving the pistons in the cylinders. Just raise the cylinder up enough to remove the wrist pin clip. If you go this route stuff some clean rags in the case so in case you drop the wrist pin clip.
