 Good luck! You might leave the rear mount in place and just rotate the engine down in front......

That's what I was hoping for, swing arm can stay in that case too?
I got spoiled with my honda cbx where I can tilt the engine and do anything I want.
I'm also thinking if there could also be something else like seized starter it something in the transmission but I think it all points to the valve train.
Rear brake is seized, not sure yet if it's master or caliper. Clutch lever needs to be pumped so it works. I changed the fluid but it seems that I'll have to open the master and at least clean it up if not rebuild it.
Needs new drive chain as this one is rusty and has I rings coming out, front sprocket is also rusty but it can be cleaned out.
I'm definitely in for a bunch of work!
I appreciate all the input

 Wait a minute- why would you need to remove the motor to get the head off?

It doesn't look like the head will clear the frame to come off.
This is vertical  head in question, if it was horizontal, it would of been a breeze.
Luckily per your tip that the engine can just be tilted a bit, it may end up easy, we will see

Ok so I haven't removed the head yet as the tool I received was wrong so I'm waiting for another one.
What I did in the mean time is I tried to see why vertical head intake valve wasn't moving.
So I took the clip off and slid opening rocker to the side.
The valve was very tight, I think that head is in TDC and the pulley should spin when opening rockers are moved to the side but, the pulley is very hard to move. Maybe 1/4 -1/2 turn only.
Horizontal head pulley, when belt removed, spins easily.
Crank also turns 3/4-full turn until it stops.
There is no valve gap/lash on the intake at all.
So I removed the rods that hold both rocker arms in order to remove it.
Once I did so valve does go freely up and down and I can see exhaust valve do the same.
Why would the head pulley be hard to turn?
Also the crank. Am I looking in wrong place?
Maybe it's the transmission, clutch center nut or ?
What else should I be checking before i disassemble the engine!
Any input appreciated
