Hello all,
I have a 16 V7ii with 40k. the head gaskets are leaking on both sides and there is oil in the air filter box.

My question is, whats the best way to remove the valves without damaging the fins?
Thanks,
Steve.
 
Removing the valves will involve removing the heads first. This will also give you the opportunity to replace the leaking head gaskets.

Oil in the air filter box is usually the result of overfilling the oil tank. General guide is to only fill to half way.

Hi Steve, I have a good guy in Denton if you want to make the trek for some help. If you really want to try to DIY, download the Shop/Service manual (I have it for sale on the Store or if you're crafty with Google you'll find it).
There's not even a remote chance of damaging anything once everything is completely unbolted.
 
Thanks Todd,
Whats your guys info?
I have the shop/exploded diagram. All the bolts are removed but its holding fast. Its the gasket that is in the middle just below the air hose.
