What's the problem?, is it not something you could do yourself?

Steve,

Fixed the template for better Firefox compatability, still buggy in places, but now you don't have to visit the site at work ;)

There should be one on the inside rim of the filter cover. It must have been lost when I cleaned it.

Is it possible to buy the seal for the oil filter housing. I bought a filter expecting a seal but no joy.

Hi Guys,

Yes I did design the logo myself. I have been toying with the idea of t-shirts and the like. I noticed a while back that SOHC4.net use cafepress, and was wondering if there was any way in the UK I could do something similar.

I don't want to hold stock or out lay a lot money, (all the spare cash is is going to Christmas - and it's getting in the way of the re-build ;)  )

It would be nice to do this, with a small profit and put towards the costs of the site....

Any Ideas???

Hi Steve

Yes I know of the firefox problem, it worked fine up until a few week ago, when I updated the CMS, I changed from Mambo to Joomal and it all went Tits up.

I'm woking on a new template as we speak, I actually prefer Firefox, because it is less forgiving that IE, which makes for better pages.

It's going to be a while, as I have to work for a living:(  and the CB750 re-build it steaming along now.

Finally got something polished, there's no stopping me now.

Got hold of a 375w bench grinder, from a local tool shop, ex window display model, good price.

 

Not bad for a first go. Don't get me wrong, you can't replace a good ally polisher for a really pro job, it makes you appreciate the hard work a professional polisher does.

Bum 'oles.

Just to let you all know, If you get the polishing kit to convert a Bench Grinder into a polishing wheel, make sure you get a powerful enough grinder. I bought a cheap one cost 15 quid, but it's only 150W, when you offer up the job to the wheel it stops it.

Any one else done this conversion and what power is the grinder.

The Kit I bought convert a bench grinder into a buffing/polishing tool.

I need to make a new bench to put the grinder on as I can't get the cam cover under the wheel properly.

I'll have some pics tomorrow and Ill post them up.

CB750 / Re:Broken bolts in cylinder head....help!!
« on: November 04, 2005, 04:51:04 PM »
To get that out your going to have to take the cam assembly off again.

As I said before, your options are limited:-
Stud extractor, Mole grips, an engineering company to try and remove it or a onother head.

I have a head, but it has no valves,

Is that engine still in the frame?  If so I didn't think you could remove the camcover without dropping the engine

Good luck

My polishing kit came this morning, and as I work from home it will be down tools early and into the shed. I'll post a before and after photos later.

If you want to see were I got it from http://www.polishing-kits.co.uk/ it's the same guy as mentioned before, but his site has more help and stuff.

Let's get busy

I don't use the torque wrench for the smaller bolts,I bought one from Halfords but found the \"click action\" was so soft low down, that I missed it.

For small stuff, I use the 1/8th turn method, you tightnen up with as normal, then give it an extra 1/8th of a turn to tighten it up.

To remove a half snapped stud or bolt, you need a stud extractor. something like this

Which bolt have you snapped?, one of the ones holding the cam carriers down

The question is, how do you keep it shiny, Aluminum is well know for tarnishing quickly,:(  and I don't fancy pulling the engine out every weekend to give the cam cover a quick polish:blink:
