Cb 550 ss spain

Yes, that was programmed, but is it worth checking the connecting rod bearings? The crankshaft ones seem like a no-brainer.
I will try to find a fork, they are no longer available.

[Bryanj]

Shouldnt be worn but maybe dirt damaged so worth looking

[murdock]

Thanks, oddjob I'll see if you send it to Spain

[murdock]

I have opened the engine, everything seems fine, but I have found some wear or rubbing on the central selector fork, I don't know what gear it engages, the gearing looks fine, tomorrow I will check it in a better light.
Those are the numbers I was supposed to find right?

Pictures 3 & 4 are the correct pictures for the markings.

No idea what pic 2 is meant to be.

Will it be the date of manufacture or assembly?

https://www.ebay.com/p/1711838624 seems cheap.

Today rubbers ,
After 44 years,
The difference is very palpable,
now it looks like a solid piece
I'm still looking for the shift fork,
If anyone has one for sale
...........

[murdock]

I got the same results in all , I see it great , what is your opinion ? And now what is the next step?

[murdock]

How I was dying of boredom I started to do something and disassemble the connecting rod number 2 , this is what I found , tomorrow I will continue with the others , since I have reached this Point I thought I also had to check them , I guess everything is fine , I hope the opinion of the experts of this forum , I managed to buy the fork of the change from eBay for 25 dollars , hopefully it will arrive soon , I have lost track of the pistons I bought from cruzin , since the 16th , apparently they are still in Tokyo.

[murdock]

Yes, that was already clear to me, from left to right sitting on the bike from 1 to 4.
I have checked all the connecting rods and they are also fine ,
  They are already repositioned with assembly grease and at 45 Newton meters.
I think I will spend some time polishing and cleaning parts and bolts until the shift fork arrives.
When the weather improves ( in April it rains a lot ) I will paint the engine.
I have to take care of the other bikes
They tend to get jealous

[murdock]

How nice! It arrived ! Now I have all the ingredients for the cake !
What I do not like is that I still have no news of the cruzin image pistons.
The fork took 10 days from the USA
And the pistons are 20, I hope they arrive soon.
Has anyone had this problem with cruzin ?

[philward]

Mine arrived within 10 days (that was late last year)

[Nurse Julie]

7-10 days from Cruzinimage to us in UK at the moment.

[murdock]

I will try to contact them, I know what can happen.
Now I have another problem
When I disassembled the engine I removed the crankshaft seals and I can't find them, I have a picture of them.
But I also have this seal that comes in the kit
  And I don't know what is its place ?

[philward]

Think thats the clutch actuating arm seal? - 23 in this diagram https://images.cmsnl.com/img/partslists/honda-cb500k2-general-export-e-10-left-crankcase-cover-starting-motor-oil-pump_big3IMG01171114_6444.gif

[murdock]

Ok, so I don't need it, my bike doesn't have that, but the seal that you see in the photo next to the crankshaft is not the same, it doesn't have the metal inside, just the spring like any other seal?
Thanks
