86 Yamaha V6 - Hay Bigshrimpin

[Monkey Butler]

Just to keep everyone up to date....

My 1986 Yamaha V6 Special has the shift rod rot that is common on these motors. If it didn't run so d...m well I'd be looking at repowering but that's another story.

I started tinkering with getting the powerhead off with some good initial advice from the Beeg Shrimp Man but you know how these things go.

Found one long bolt already snapped off at the head. Got 3 of the 5 other long bolts out okay. One looked like it was coming out and could see 1/4 inch of the shaft then it sheared, about an inch into the adapter between the block and the intermediate.

So I've got one long bolt left that I have a feeling won't budge. BS I need your help here! I know my next steps are going to have to impart some destuction but whrere do I stab the beast?

You still have them parts?
