Were the pipes blued?
That's really interesting Craig, also good to see another wrecked engine Can you remember if #4 piston was ok or was it one of the others?
Craig, you are right, these bikes are far better off being used, my cb500 got to 250,000 miles and the engines in better shape, just needs new rings and one selector fork plus gear it runs in.Julie, you need to see the contents of my shed - plenty of wrecked engines in there, thanks to my buying at the very bottom of the market.

My research on the cause was not definitive but best guess was the carbs running very lean and judging by the state of them when I checked them it may be right
