How do you disassemble the engine of the Gilera Nordwest?

Model: Gilera Nordwest
Part: Engine

Video tutorial

In order to replace the engine of the Gilera Nordwest, it will be necessary to loosen the screws that fix the panels of the fairing of the motorcycle, located on the sides immediately below the tank. Once these panels have been detached, it will be possible to locate the engine inside: it will be necessary to loosen the fixing screws of its supports and disconnect pipes and connectors.

In this way, the engine block can be opened and the piston can be detached from the connecting rod: access to the crankshaft will be obtained, which can be inspected along with all the other internal components.
