tools needed

I am doing a top end job on a 4v 1100. I need a piston pin puller and the special tool that separates the cylinder from the crankcase. I made a pin puller and separator, but would rather have the real deal. Ill pay for all shipping and rental if ness. Pm me here or text/call at 651-491-9030. Thanks, Jon
 
Over thinkn it i reckon. Never had any of those tools or ever needed them. Commen sence and paitence works a charm most times. and that 4V 1100. is that a 8V or 16V engine.
 
16v or 4v per cyl.. I already broke a fin off. Ugh. It was a perfect top end. Never even seen rain. The puller worked but it looked like I gouged the boss area of the piston. It may have been a oiling passage though as zero new looking scrapings were found. I was able to get the cylinder off using a "reverse" vice grip that is used to pull brake caliper pistons. I do over think. When I do it costs me time. When I under think, it costs me time and money. Im not as gifted of a wrench as many on the site
 
Sounds fair but you tube is a great teacher. im NOT putting any crap on you but breaking fins and gouging of parts is a big no no. Normally geting any head off involves a small plastic mallet and hitting upward on the thicker metal where those half moon rubbers fit into your head. We all make mistakes and it sucks and as they say there is no such thing as a dumb question.. No fancy tools needed, just ask 1st if any problem. If youtube and in here dont know, mite as well sell your tool box lol. have fun
 
No offense taken. All advice welcome and encouraged! I was using a soft blow hammer and a piece of wood. Head came off no problem, plenty of heavy well supported area's. Was trying not to be a hack! Cylinder put up a better fight.

Yep cylinder normally does, but you still look for the thickest part of that object, and that would be the cam chain tunnel, mainly the front but can use the rear section. Once again have fun, and a few beers while you think about stuff lol
 
Careful with the beers while you work on it though...I find that my ridiculous mongo-strength shows up after about three beers and I end up with problems like you are having. I twist the heads off of more bolts and bend more wrenches when I've been drinking...
 
It does help the anxiety levels though.... Found a good way to get off base gaskets though. Used penetrating oil on the gasket. Let it sit for 6-8 hrs. Cut dont scrape the gasket. Be gentle, lots of fresh blades. More oil for what is left. Let sit again. We have sandpaper at work that is on rubber sheeting and with 100 grit, GENTLY removed what paper was left not metal, touched up with more oil and scotch brite.
