1993 M900 Cylinder Head Removal Advice

20-07-2020, 08:42 AM

Hi All,

I'm looking to get my cylinder head barrels vapour blasted sometime soon, which means I'll be removing the heads. I haven't done this on a Ducati before so I don't have the tools for the job right now, can anyone recommend a good tool for removing the cylinder head nuts?

I'm also a bit unsure of which head gaskets to use, as Stein Dinse list 0.3 and 0.4mm base gaskets for the 1993 M900. Can anyone tell me which one is correct? And am I correct in thinking that there is no gasket between the upper and lower barrel, just o-rings? With the only metal gasket being between the crankcase and the lower barrel?

Thank you in advance.
