That adjuster bolts looks like most of the 400 i used to see as if the original broke or got lost and you did get the piece out most people just fitted a standard 6mm setscrew instead of paying for and waiting for the expensive Honda parts to do it right, just pray whoever did it relieved the end threads(ground the diameter down) as they tend to mushroom the inner end which destroys the crankcase thread when you undo it. Can be wiser to wait till you have the crankcases separated so you can file the end of the bolt before winding it out.
Nuts on cam sprocket suitably heated, head off, barrels off. Have to say all looks good at first glance. Nothing measured but promising Can't find clutch nut tool and too impatient to order one and wait, so will modify an old socket with grinder. Post some pics over the weekend if I get chance.Really loving doing this. It is such a change for a mere curtain engineer!
Well frame all stripped and everything boxed up for later assesment.Motor all apart besides 5 head studs. I have done the 2 nut / heat trick on all but these last ones are reluctant. They are quite thin shanked and I do not want to apply too much force and break them..... Think I will try stud in vice and turn the whole case - (Laverda120's tip I think?) Will apply heat again but worry I may go overboard with too much! Any guidance appreciated.
