Great tip  I just wished I had started getting more involved all those years ago instead of waiting until I was in my 50’s!

If it going to take a while till it runs plenty of oil in the ball bearings and spin them to cover all the tracks
Noted, thank you.

It’s had a lick of paint and now it’s time to put the bottom back together again. A whole raft of firsts for me and I’m loving it!

Thanks chaps, all out now and stripped. This half has come up well, bottom half in the background still to be cleaned.

Today I split my first ever engine, that felt good! The countershaft stayed in the lower crankcase as the seal circled in blue is not budging and will not it let go. Any tips to get this seal shifted without doing any damage? As a complete first timer, I’m nervous about damaging anything by over enthusiastic encouragement!

Look at diesel engine 10w40 mineral oils, they usually meet the 70's sae specs for the Hondas
Would this be along the same lines, it’s 15w40?

Grease, but make sure all is covered and then a big bucket with diesel to get rid of it, on the 360 make sure when the crank is out you fill the main ball bearings with oil and spin them, if its a long time do it regularly, and the big ends
Thank you

Thanks for the tips, I’ll make sure I get them protected.

I’m stripping the engine again on the CB360 this winter. I plan to split the cases and take my first look deep inside an engine. Is there anything I should be doing to the cylinder regarding storage when it’s removed, do the liners need any attention whilst removed and waiting a few months to go back on?

Thanks for the advice all. I decided to crack on with what I have, only to find the JT sprocket isn’t a perfect fit, so a bit of fettling to make the studs fit. All now assembled and feels great.

A agree with Bryan, similar if not identical to the 400 hub once all four studs are in place it's pretty solid.
I replaced mine as the rubber bushes appeared to have gone rock solid so there was no obvious damping effect.
How difficult were they to remove Ted? I took the two suspension bushes out of the swing arm and they were… a challenge.

Thank you.
One more if I may?
Should the studs be a super tight fit in them? My drop in nicely, not excessive play but a tiny bit.

Fine without the guard, never used to transfer them or fit expensive Honda.
As to the bushes, only way i ever found was burn out the rubber then carefully cut through the outer sleeve till it collapses it, smelly, smokey, labourious and mind destroying job
Thanks Bryan, I did think that might be the answer, I may leave them in place unless the more informed think it’s imperative?
