I have used helicoils before and they are obviously the cheaper option but will they withstand the bolts being torqued into them?

Thanks for the replies. As it stands on further investigation it looks like the threaded hole in the top half of the crankcase has had it
Has anyone ever tapped it out to an M10? If so did it go ok? Thanks in advance 6

Hi, can anyone tell me if they have ever fitted a slightly longer bolt in the crankcase. I was just torquing down to do a plastigauge test and what is no.2 bolt on the diagrams will not tighten down. The bolts are M8 x 140 1.25 pitch. If i put the bolt in the top half of the casing without the bottom fitted it bites fine and i think it would torque down ok. I was thinking about putting a bolt 145mm long in and see what happens. Has anyone got any thoughts on this? Thanks in advance

The medium used is a soft silicone apparently and they are aware about the oil ways

Why do you think the cases are scrap if they have been vapour blasted?

The bike i got rid of was a 600 SRAD and i replaced with an xjr1300sp. I still have that and love to do big trips on it which i used it for a 180 mile commute. The SRAD if i went back to it would be a small fun project and great fun to have small ride outs or even track days.

Thanks Jedi. it is sound advise like that that i need. I am slowly coming to the fact that i might have to let this go.

CB750 / CB750 K5 Dilemma« on: January 24, 2021, 05:19:48 PM »
Evening all. I am in a bit of a dilemma. I bought a K5 frame and lots of bits. I have the title and the nova certificate but it is not UK registered yet. I have fully stripped the engine down which I have found out is a K6 and the case is away being vapour blasted.
My dilemma is whether or not to carry on with the project or sell it as it is with the bits I have already done to it and purchase a bike that I have had in the past that really has me interested. Any thoughts? 13

CB750 / PD Carb swap« on: December 22, 2020, 09:08:36 PM »
Anyone interested in possibly swapping or PX a set of PD41 carbs for a set that will fit a 750 K6 engine? I dont know anything about the history of them. The bike (or bits of a bike) i bought is a K5 frame and a K6 engine.
