CB350/400 / 400 engine repair or replace

« on: March 14, 2014, 06:42:52 PM »

Hi,
Assessing the engine that came with my latest bargain basket case and would really appreciate advice etc. now it's stripped.
Clocks show 36k miles and bike generally looks to have had a pretty hard life.
Bought it partially stripped but dry stored.
Bores are worn and pistons all had broken top rings so I guess rebore is needed - any idea on cost and where to get it done?
Bottom end seems OK at first look - are there known problems I should look for / things to check?
I guess key question is whether it's sane to refurbish the old engine or look out for a running one instead - any opinion?
Cheers
Andy

Thanks all - good to hear no one questioning my sanity so far!
Off for a couple of days to Wales then back to start looking at the 400 motor so expect a few posts full of questions.
Cheers

Hi all - just joined the forum after searching the web for info on the 400/4.
Bought a basket case - I really should know better but it came with another bike and was of course too good a deal to miss!!
In the process of assessing condition and if / how to go about restoring the poor old girl so will be in need of sound advice (counselling?) and this forum looks like the place to be.
Cheers
Andy
