Thanks! Glad to hear the manifold situation can be solved by the rubber boot, as that was my plan and I've already loosened the boot's clamp in prep for lowering the engine.

I've got the engine supported on a lift, and from what I can tell the idea is to remove all the engine mount bolts and leave the swingarm bolt installed, and the engine is then supposed to be able to rotate forward far enough to be able to get the head and cylinder off. I have it at about that point, disassembly-wise, as far as I can tell. But the engine seems not interested at all in moving in any way. Is it just extraordinarily tight in there and needs some whacks with a mallet? Or is my approach wrong? Thanks for any insight!
