Has anyone ever come across this before, after removing the engine of my T140 the last thing I expected was not being able to separate the head from the barrel, every nut and bolt has been removed and a half tin of Wd40 used including wooden wedges, in the end I removed them both still joined together in the vain hope I would be able to get better access , I have rebuilt many engines over the years but have never had this problem, a solution would be welcomed.

I have been lucky enough to have a couple of dozen bikes over the years and probably the best one as been my last purchase which is a very low mileage Triumph Daytona 955i with the 180 section rear tyre and double sided swing arm, hardly anything upsets it and the power out of corners is brilliant by any standards, very much a overlooked machine .
