CB750 / A cylinder question
« on: January 28, 2015, 11:47:02 AM »
My mechanic that is rebuilding my engine has asked me this question.
"Are the cylinders plated or have cast liners"
I have been led to believe that the engine is a K6

Hi people.
Just popped in to say hello.  :)
Been into bikes since I was 16, yep a Honda SS50 started it all way back in 1974. Been through a few Honda's since then, had a 500/4, a 750c and fairly recently got rid of a CB750kz. I have always been into custom bikes, I built a trophy winning BSA A10 650 back in the late 70's and have hankered after another chopper ever since selling it to emigrate in 1980. My current ride is a Hyosung GV650 and after a recent heart scare decided it was time again to have another chopper before I peg it. :o So after scouring the bay of fleas I am now the owner of a 1976 CB750. I know there are a few purists bike builders on here but hope you will accept my fetish openly.  ;)
The bike I have was bought with a serious problem of a snapped camshaft, but all the pieces to fix it was supplied with it. I know sweet fa about engines so have left it in the hands of my cousin to get the we beasty back into service. I have changed quite a bit on it since getting it and plan on giving it the full blown blue candy on silver flake job. I'm sure there will be questions along the way and will keep you up to date with the build.
Cheers
Mike
