YZ80...getting ready to slit the case!

[glowpowered]

I am getting ready to slit the case on my '88 YZ80 and completely overhaul the bottom end. This is my first bottom end rebuild and i am trying to get all the seals/bearings/tools that i will need ahead of time. So far i have the flywheel puller and a crank bearing and seal set. I know that i need some yamabond 4 to seal them back up. Is there anything else i should get in the way of tools or parts... and also do you guys have any tips on slitting the case or anything like that? thanks

be patient and keep all the parts in order and neat. when you first get it open, its going to seem like a nightmare, but once you get a good look at everything, its not so bad.

a case splitter will make things a lot easier. and when ya put them back together mak sure everything that goes inside the case is inside... and make sure ya line up all the gears. like zillaguy said it will look like a nightmare. stay clean and organized and it'll be a piece of cake
