Hi again Guys enjoy the banter thanks for suggestion.

[hondatri]

Ok guys got the engine back together New piston Rings,Cylinders Honed Valves Ground in New cam chain and a Guide and Tensioner all new Gaskets and seals  I want to ensure valve timing is ok I have looked at Manual and not happy with it. The bike has Boyer electronic ign. Got pistons at TDC and with  the marks on Cam sprocket lined up the ign marks seem to be off a bit,Any Suggestions

Sure i went through this with Drew. So here we go again: page 16 and 17 >>>   http://manuals.sohc4.net/CB350_CB400/CB400_CB350_SM_1.pdf

Steve, why do we not have a tech page or manual search?

What did you have in mind?

[hairygit]

They will be off, the "t" mark is for valve timing, the ignition timing marks are "f"

[Trigger]

They will be off, the "t" mark is for valve timing, the ignition timing marks are "f"

hondatri does ask: I want to ensure valve timing is ok I have looked at Manual and not happy with it. So it is the T mark at 1.4

Thanks Trigger  that makes more sense than the Haynes Manual. Next Job is to strip and Clean Carbs I see a 4 carb Kit on Ebay has anyone used one of these.

Hi its me againset up the valves ok On moving the bike stand I found what looks like a spacer Round 2.5" diawith a center hole of1.3" dia wit 2 holes kike for mounting, I cannot see anything similar in Parts Manual Is it off the 400/4

[Lynx]

Oh dear. That's supposed to go under the cam sprocket bolts .

[hondatri]

I thoght as much I dont mind stripping top to fit it I know honda fitted it for a reason But would it matter if I left it off I mounted Cam sprocket and used Locktite on Bolts. I dont see that bit on my Parts  book.

[Lynx]

I'm sure as long as they are locktighted they'll be fine.

Hi,
     My 400/4 did not have that piece fitted when I first stripped my motor in 1984, maybe different on some years/models? anyone any thought?

Yep !

[Bitsa (Ralph Wright - RIP)]

The last one I restored DID NOT HAVE THAT.
So me personally would not worry about it providing the bolts do up to speck and have never loctited any off the cam bolts across the range

Thanks for all replies. I have decided to leave well enough alone and hang that bit on garage wall. So its on to Valve adjustments
