I did not lock my crankshaft in place. By both cylinders and heads are in still place - will my crankshaft still be able to move? I just took it off last night - it does not look like the crankshaft moved at all. I did put the bolt in place after watching the video.
You maybe lucky the crankshaft shim didn’t come off the pins. Tighten the flywheel bolts a bit and turn the crankshaft to be sure there is no resistance . If there is resistance one of the shims is off the pins. You have to get the one inside the engine back on the pins or you will damage the crankshaft.
Hi Brook, I need the tool you mention from cycleworks to remove the guide but I cant find it, do you know how they call it, or do you have the direct link to buy it? Thanks a lot in advance
Hey, any idea what part number the guide ring (shown being punched at the 7:52 mark) is? I definately have one on my bike lol but can't find it anywhere on boxer2valve's site or Max BMW's either.
Awesome! I didn’t not know that guide ring could come off. Changing the main seals will be a lot easier now.
Jeffery, I'm glad this makes your life easier.
Nice work Brook! I always learn something from you.
Pete
Thank you Pete.

Eduardo, I believe he has stopped making the tool. I describe another way to remove the guide ring in the link in the text under the video pane.

FrodoLoggins, it's considered part of the engine as it mounts on the crankshaft, Part# 11 22 1 337 284.
