Honda-SOHC

I have the tools and the felt to make these Roo and CB-500. Do you still need some?

I must warn you, they are quite fragile so I tend to soak mine in Silicon oil as that not only helps them keep together but also aids in lubricating the lifter shaft that passes through them.

Looking at the manual it looks like the boss on that gear should face the other way.

Rats,tail…do tell.

These.

Commonly called rats tails for the corkscrew effect on the end. You select the size dependent on the spindle size of the bench grinder.

I could try cleaning one of the internally damaged covers if you want Mick. See how the surface is on them.

Proving harder than I thought this Mick.

I found 3 quite easily, one has a part of the oil pump wall broken, clearly a chain breakage, another has a very small section at the top of the oil pump wall missing, that may have been me fitting an oil pressure gauge many moons ago and that's how the pipe went through. The last one looked reasonable, I always clean them and inspect closely as I clean for damage. The alloy has some corrosion pitting and one area has what looks to be a stone strike. I could try and clean all these up to some extent but it would depend on what your were thinking of doing with it, powder coating would cover it pretty well for instance.

If you were thinking of polishing it then there's a lot of work to be done.

I should have at least 2 more around somewhere but I need to ensure that I have a decent one for my engine.

Let me know.

Hold a tool tray for me Roo, I think my BIL needs one for my 500 which he borrowed but has never given back.

Asked for plug spanners on another thread, add a couple of 26mm toolkit spanners as well if you can. The box spanner type.

370w will stop when you press on the work. Minimum I'd say is 600w.

I use 2 x Sealey bench grinders, BG200 IIRC.

The rats tails extensions are easy to source. As are the mops and soap. I use this place https://bolgers.co.uk/

They'll fit but it's possible the forks may not line up properly.

One giveaway on the countershaft is that it has a small cutout in the end of it, opposite end to where the sprocket goes. Look inside the needle roller and you'll see a small flange that turns the little oil pump, the 500 doesn't have anything in the shaft that can drive that, the 550 has. If you see that you know it's a 550 without checking the number of teeth on the gears.
