Hi Everyone !
I am currently in the need to change the gasket joint on my F.H Huntmaster from 1955 and was wondering if you had any advice on how to dismantle and take out the engine from the frame or if some of you maybe had the appropriate workshop manual?
Thank you very much in advance for your help!

I'm assuming you need to replace the head gasket - you don't need to take the engine out of the frame to do that although it might seem like it when you try and take the rocker box off!
Here is a 'help' thread in the Forum about removing/replacing the rocker box:
viewtopic.php?f=4&t=5272
The engine itself is internally the same as a BSA A10, a manual for one of those will cover any engine work.
If you need a full manual for the bike you might be best off with a Waller/Pearson handbook (written by Waller and published by Pearson). These were the official manuals of the time. They do appear on ebay fairly frequently but you'll need to make sure to get a very late edition to get the information for the Huntmaster. The 6th edition (1961) definitely includes the Huntmaster, the 1955 reprint (of the 4th edition) definitely doesn't, I'm not sure about the 5th edition (1956). (There are a few on ebay at the moment but I think the latest one is a 1955 reprint, so no good for your bike).
In case you're a Club member, there's a copy of the 1961 manual in the online members' library....
Hope that helps!
