CB350/400 / Engine/ Gear Box Oil Recommendation
« on: June 01, 2013, 03:31:58 PM »
As the day to start my rebuilt engine approaches my thoughts turn to oil!
The manual recommends SAE 10W - 40 SE for normal use.
I understand that this is an old oil designation and today's designations eg API, ACEA are not directly comparable.
I would welcome advice from those in the know.
Also should I use a special oil to run the engine in or just change it after ? 500 miles.
Many thanks.

Hi All,
Does anyone know if it is possible to replacement the HT leads from the coils to the spark plugs on a 400/4 or is it necessary to buy new coils?
Thanks,
John

Thanks Kent.
I've just looked at the site you suggested.
Unfortunately they stock only 3.9 mm and 4.7 mm bullets.
The original loom connectors and those on the replacement loom supplied by David Silver are 3.5 mm bullets.
American suppliers seem to stock them but not UK for some reason.

CB350/400 / Oil pump
« on: July 03, 2012, 10:40:39 PM »
Hello All!
Has anyone out there dismantled a 400/4 oil pump?
Could anyone tell me whether the spindle driving the oil pump should have an o-ring or a washer in the recess in the base of the pump?
Many thanks.
