1971 Harley 900 Sportster ironhead
well i have hit a snag in my rebuild. i have everything disconnected off engine, engine is unbolted , but i am unable to pull it from frame. i am doin this all by hand by the way, so i dont have block and tackle or a hoist, is there another way to pull this from the frame? or am i gonna be stuck with ripping everything off the engine inside the frame? any help is appreciated. yes a do have the manual , and i been through all steps to remove the engine. it should be a walk in the park but it really aint.

ok so here i am reporting back. i have taken the jugs off both sides. the front piston is in great shape. however the back piston has a hole in it on the top. ...now as the story goes ,the guy i traded my rv with for this bike,siad he blew a ring . when it started smokin he shut her down , he told me it sat for 2 years. outside!!!!!!
then to come too find out after the deal was made i found out that it has not ran for 9 years and sat out all season long for 4 years
:ico n_screwy:
. this guy did not treat it too well apparently. anyways here is my question. WHERE DO I FIND JUST A ORIGINAL PISTON FOR THIS AND THE RINGS.? any help would be awesome.
thanks in advance .
