HI,
Bolt not flanged and no vacate holes!! well not anymore!
Going to have to bite the bullet and go with it, if it starts and runs that will be good enough!!

Hi,
My first thought was crankcase bolt as I did have to source one due to me possibly mislaying one or not!! but then its rather long to go there?
The bolt was measured from underneath bolt head. Also no crash bars fitted.
Well it may be the case of waiting for something to fall off or fail?
I hope neither

Hi All,
Have been rebuilding bike (CB400/4) for the last 9 mths or so and I must admit there was alot of make do and mend from the previous owners, I now seem to have an M8x 125mm bolt spare and have no idea where it has come from? have look at the schematics on the CSMNL website and again no luck on finding where it goes? it may well have been used instead of the correct bolt? but I would like to have some clarification before continuing.
Hopefully someone out there can give me some piece of mind!!!
Cheers in advance
Simon

Hopefully someone can throw some light on this topic? have just started re-assembling engine, have got as far as putting clutch together and made a very school boy error!! failed to take notice on which way round the clutch plates went? the clutch plates have one side which seems rounded off on the edges and the opposite side is quite square and sharp edges, which way do they go into the clutch basket?
Regards
Simon

Cheers, as you have mentioned in previous messages, bigger the clearance lower the oil pressure, thats why I'm concerned regarding Main Bearing clearances, 4 off 0,063 and 1 off 0,076 which basically is max limit on clearances. So was hoping by using the next size shell up, it would hopefully bring clearances more in to tolerance, am I right in thinking this way?

Hi,
Please tell me if my assumption is wrong!! but why cant you put the next coloured shell up? ie go from yellow to green? would that not reduce the clearance?

Hi,
If its any easier, I could pop up and see you? I drive though Woodbury on the way to Budleigh Salterton (walking), would be better on the bike !! Have emailed BryanJ on RoyHall's recommendation to see what he thinks?
Going to reassemble crankcases with crank in situ and check if casings are flush with each other then hopefully i'll know that its just the springing out the casings abit.
But what i also need to know is if I can use the next shell size up to reduce the amount of clearance?

What can I do to improve the amount of clearance?
I just don't have the experience as this is my first restoration project!!

Hi Roy,
Can you not use a different coloured shell to reduce clearance? ie go from yellow to a green?

Hi Hairygit,
When assembling casings as you've explained, do I fit bolts and torque as per Haynes Manual?

Hi Roy,
Find attached Photo's of crank etc, may have to 2 Posts for all the Photo's.
Have taken a couple of side Photo's of shells in casing, see what you think? it looks like to me if the shells are not tight to the casing at the bottom? or is it just an optical illusion?
Cheers
