Do you have the FSM (Factory Service Manual)?  For the DOHC bikes you can just unbolt one side of the frame and the engine slides out (you need a friend to help you).  There are instructions on how to remove the engine in the FSM (download link on this forum - check the stickies on the front page).

For the SOHC's it's much harder as the frame doesn't unbolt like ours does.

Also, I'd be remiss if I didn't let you know that this forum is super friendly, but is more focused on SOHC's than DOHC's.

There is another DOHC specific forum (http://www.cb750c.com) that has guys on it that have forgotten more about DOHC's than I'll likely ever know.  I'll won't say anything else about it other than recommend you do a lot of reading through threads there before you start asking questions to them.  I post on both forums.
