I'll blame the bolt I got from my local tool hire shop, it cost me nothing as they couldn't be bothered to charge me for it.

You can not any old bolt, if it snaps you will have another problem. The bolt needs to be high tensile and that is why a car wheel bolt is ideal  ;)

The thread looks clean as, could the bolt be 1.75mm?!

Plan B in action

Defiantly a 1.5, just tried it on 3 different ones. Unless they have put a 400 one on  :o

I measured the bushing width on the new shocks - 25mm - so pretty close to the OEM bushing in the photo.  Not sure whether to bother with any spacers at all...

Once the OEM ones are squeezed in they are 40mm. At 25mm the top of the shock will float horizontally  ;)

CB750 / Re: New CB750 K5 fork spring

Welcome to the mad world of the SOHC. You should be able to easy get springs in the states and cheaper than the UK.

Thanks Trigger, for now I'm reserving all my funds for this damn engine.  What is the rotor thread for removal, m16 x 1.5?

That size is correct. Looks for a car wheel nut at that size, thread it in by hand attach a impact gun and it is off  ;)

CB350/400 / Re: 400 Four Oil filter - "genuine" or "aftermarket" ?
« on: September 07, 2023, 07:55:16 AM »
On a lot of my CB750 oil pump builds, i would have to replace with new gerotors. Not a cheap rebuild.

Worked at Willesden engineering, rebuilding fleet Vauxhall and Ford engines which was so much easier and you were expected to do at least 12 units a day; Crank reground with oversize shells, rebored with new pistons, new valve guides, valve seats, valves, new cam shafts and all new rocker components, new core plugs, gaskets and seals,, new oil pump, new oil pump and so on. Which was cheap  ;)

A lot of small Honda's never even had a oil filter.  ;)

I had a bit of a deeper delve into my bike yesterday, the air box has been messed with to the point I'm not sure what's missing even when looking at the Cmsnl parts list.  I'm guessing lots of the parts aren't even available any longer which leaves a bit of a dilemma.

Can anyone advise me as to why I have two cut wires in the loom that have been connected seemingly the wrong way? Hopefully I've got the carb parts here to reassemble and bench sync and fuses on their way so I might be able to test the electrics by next week...who knows I might even get it started.




This is the part you need for the bottom of your air box Dom >>>> https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/355020970267?hash=item52a8e6191b:g:qzcAAOSwF8Nk-KJG&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAAwHvKo2rJus4LgdssI7kGjCt8xNFvDZkkQLL%2F3dC27wc96qT4KCMTLEUyfuOXsFaM9D%2B5IchmMOY2CKs0fKgdgBzl6m7YD5IdJUDvgxlrQovxO1zokbKr7zD3Ve1pXdZKgn7USjGsYDVk77mryw%2F%2BV7n%2F8N6TSOQ3K7EntaPaE1%2FufwdtEiFICxLaABemyOxC8dA7MII5NQHLckHv0%2F%2Frhb2qkUIC9w%2BboHMtGqHx2QYBbGECceSXtnBYJQPAAXbhqA%3D%3D%7Ctkp%3ABk9SR9yBoMvNYg

All done and working thanks. Not an easy job doing it from underneath the bike on the side stand. I had to use a piece of fishing line to hold all the parts on as they just wanted to slide off the shaft!  I then fitted the circlip and pulled the line out once done. Thanks again

It is a tricky job but, doable. Well done  ;)

A lot of the spin on types come with the tool these days. A lot of manufactures have a toque setting now because of the high pressure oil pumps.

The main Land rover dealer near me employed a guy in his mid 50's to be a service technician. After a couple of weeks of him working, they had a number of Range rovers and Land rovers returned with blown engines or massive leaks. He was putting the oil filters on and doing them up hand tight ( as he has always done ) The o'ring had been blown out due to the oil pressure  :o
