My oil pump had about the same mileage as yours when it got pulled out during a wider rebuild and had all it's seals changed ( courtesy Julie) it works fine.

Hi Athame57. My bike is an early one , I think 122. It had a top end rebuild in 2019 with a DSS gasket set and had been fine until about 6 months ago when it started leaking.
Later models had the length of the cylinder head studs revised, as to whether you can retrofit I don't know, but there will be someone here who can answer that.

As a matter of interest, do you have a very early CB400F? I gather Honda made some subtle amendments to later models to redress an issue with leaky heads.

About a year ago my leaky head was cured with DSS parts as part of a wider rebuild, no problems so far is all I can say.

I feel sorry for these homeless snails! When you ride over a slug on the drive they go POP, when you ride over a snail they go CRUNCH! On a wet night the last few yards of your journey can sound like riding through a plate of Ricicles, snap crackle and pop!

Maybe a bit of fuel injection would do people like us good as well!

Yikes Pneumonia is very serious - I wish you a speedy recovery.
Did you have the Pneumococcal vaccine?
Tell me about it, the first couple of days in hospital I was wondering if I might not make it, my lungs felt like a sack of spuds. I never got around to my flu jab but once I'm a bit better I'll go get it. I'll ask about covid too. Once I do ride I'll keep it to shorter trips a while and wrap a scarf around my boatrace, I ride with an open face lid.

I would disconnect the battery of anything to be laid up because of the fire risk issue.

Well, I don't have a garage myself. But while you are tucking yours to bed I'm gingerly getting ready for my first longish ride in weeks as I'm recovering from my first ever dose of pneumonia that came with a wider chest infection. Just wondering, are there many of us who approach winter riding with their health in mind. My pneumonia was community acquired but I'm not going to push the envelope too far I don't want to end up on a ward for five days again!

Welcome here Ken, I look forwards to seeing the end result of your restoration, you don't seem to be leaving much out!

Whilst it is always nice to have an original set the DSS replica set is pretty good and a lot cheaper than a re-chrome.
The last thing I heard is that the DSS replica is not prone to blueing so maybe they are double skinned? Is it correct that new environmental laws have put the price of chroming through the roof?

You think this is a problem? Did you ever ride a 1981 Triumph Thunderbird and manage to keep your foot on the rest at all?

Unless you want a scooter maybe we will end up reduced to buying on line.
