I always fit the carbs to the inlet first then attach the air box. I also found a drop of washing up liquid on the finger and rubbed around the rubber helps it slip in without to much resistance.

Keep it! It's taken me 40 years to get another one and the process of rebuilding it is pure pleaser wish I'd never got rid of my first 500/4 biggest mistake of my motoring life!

CB500/550 / 550 Head ache
« on: September 12, 2016, 08:35:04 PM »
After buying two heads that have been total cr*p, one every valve guide cracked and valve bent the other cam bearings gouged and threads striped. Does any one on here have one that is of usable quality for sale? (Sorry if I got this in wrong section.)

Hi all and thanks for all the input this morning I used a nail brush degreaser and flushe with brake cleaner I've used higher power touch and 10x magnifier in bright sunlight and still no marks to be seen. I will keep looking but I am going too S.E.P in Kegworth. For head and bore work so will get them to measure it all up even if I find the marks on the crank just too be safe. Once again guys thanks for all the help if I crake it I will post!!

Ashimoto thanks for that pic I can say without any doubt that there is nothing like that that I can find but tomorrow I will be getting the nail brush out and giving it a good old scrub, one last try. 

If no luck it's off to SEP at Kegworth, may have to sell my body or the VZ 800 get more for the latter come to think of it!!
