How to Remove Cylinder Head 2006 Yamaha Rhino 660

Question

How do I take off the top end of a cylinder on a 2006 Yamaha 660 internal combustion engine? I need to pull off the cylinder head so that I can replace the head gasket. I am confident that I can separate the top end of the motor without difficulty, but I was wondering if anyone had the actual factory service procedures, removal and installation guide. I own a 2006 Yamaha Rhino 660 4WD special edition, model number YXR66FASEV. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

    Cylinder head removal procedures for the 2006 Yamaha Rhino 660 are the same for 2004 and 2005 models.

    When you remove the head be certain to check piston and cylinder. If it looks like it needs to be replaced you can get a new cast aluminum cylinder head and piston kit from Amazon. I’ve listed the cylinder head kits at the top of the page.

    I need to teardown and rebuild the top end on my 2008 Yamaha Rhino 700. It overheated. So I check the oil and 1 quart of watery brown milky oil oozed out, actually it poured out. Come to think of it, it probably needs more than a cylinder head reconditioning. Would you happen to have a guide of a complete dismantling and reconstruction of the cylinder head, piston and cylinder?
