Just gone against the habit of a lifetime.
Read somewhere on here this morning to torque the head nuts dry. Well I have always used a drop of 3in1 oil and never ever had a problem.
Today I take advice and torque them dry, and guess what, a broken stud. My own fault, you should always go with what you know works.
Any ideas how to remove the remainder so I can fit a new stud. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Am a little bit down hearted with this just at the moment. Sorry.

Just checking before I make a mistake. Got a Cruzinimage gasket kit for the CB750K4 and it has eight of these in it:

I'm sure these are for the 750F2 and not the K4.
Am I right? And can I discard them for the K4.
Cheers all.

Is it possible to change the main shaft oil seal (34x9mm) on a 400F without splitting the cases. Its the seal that is a blacking piece with an oil supply right underneath (just in front of the sprocket). My mates bike is weeping oil past this seal. Funny, I was only talking about that same thing 2 days ago, think I will also check that seal on my 350F.

Just thought I would ask about the assembly of the crankcase halves on a CB750.
I always assemble the crankshaft into the top casing along with the mainshaft, primary chains, and output shaft. But just noticed that the Haynes manual says to assemble it all in the bottom casing, and the Clima manual says to do it my way.
Which is the correct way to do it?
Cheers.

If you have a spare shed load of cash lying around unused this is the way to go. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Triumph-Hurricane-X75-X-75-1-owner-untouched-and-unrestored-museum-piece-WOW-/222016581170?&_trksid=p2056016.l4276 Could never understand why Triumph never put the Vetter Trident into production, this had a chance of single handedly saving the British bike Industry. Well maybe not eh. [ Guests cannot view attachments ] What a beautiful piece of machinery. Don't know its worth 35k though, but someone will buy it. Have a look at the last photo, some collection that is. And all the boxed toys on the shelf, either a shrewd collector/investor, or a nutter with too much money.

I keep seeing people looking for a new winter project. Well I've just been out to the garage intending to fit some new coils on the 350 and "Sod that for a game of soldiers" its bl***y freezing. I'm now looking for the next summer project.

Here's a long shot. Does anybody have, hiding in the back of the garage, a complete Triumph T100 or T120 or even a T140 engine they would be willing to sell. Cash waiting for the right engine. If that's not specific enough, preferably a 1971 T100R Daytona unit. Like I said, a long shot. Or indeed, any suggestions where I may find one. Cheers.

Been looking at Yamiya prices for Alan's Cb750K4 engine. The prices look really good but do you get stung for postage and import duties. Have used some companies in the States, and after the additional charges I may as well have got them from Silvers. Its also easier to return things. What's your experiences with Yamiya. Cheers.

Got some replacement coils from DSS. Does it matter which way they are connected as the terminals have no identifying marks, and the cables (black & yellow) are separate patch cables. Cheers.

Hi all.
I am rebuilding a CB750K4 engine for Alan (MCTID).
Got the engine apart and am cleaning up the parts. After removing the thick goo from around the drive sprocket area (looks like the goo was deliberately spread out to cover it)I have discovered deep score marks and a large crack in the lower case, caused by a chain breakage.
The crack is beyond welding up as the alloy has been pushed inwards and is twisted.
Does anybody have a spare set of cases (obviously I will need both halves as they are a matched set) they would be willing to sell.
The bike is a CB750K4 USA import. I think (not certain) that K3 to K5 cases are all the same.
Thanks. Roy.

Discovered yesterday that after the initial superb results with the 350F that I now have a 3.5 cylinder bike.
When I put the coils on (originals) I noticed that one HT lead was turning in the coil and was quite loose. But decided to go along with them anyway.
Not sure at this point if its on the bad running cylinder (Christmas duties prevent vital garage time, Bah Humbug) but from memory I think it may be.
Anyone else had this problem.
Cheers and Happy Christmas.

I have used a Cruzinimage clutch on the rebuild of the 350F (mainly due to the cheap price). http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HONDA-CB350F-CLUTCH-PLATE-SET-7-Friction-Plates-INclude-CD-1140-/262136672845?hash=item3d0890324dNow its operational there is a huge amount of clutch drag and the adjustment bolt is on the very end. Are these clutches any good or should I open it up and fit a proper item. Been using Gecko clutches on the 750 from Wemoto and they have been excellent. I definitely put everything back that came out of it, could be the PO lost something along the way. I may need to go through it again I guess. Should I lose the Cruzinimage clutch as well or are they good.
