Can the heads be taken off without dropping the engine?
Is it just easier to drop engine?

Heads can come off a Monster without dropping the engine.

Some like to remove the front motor mount bolt, necessary on an SS, to give more clearance.

Ah excellent. I need to get the heads off of both 900's to get the valves and seats cut. I have the 1/4" thick cheater bar for the head nuts so I think I'm all set.
