If you have a V in your back yard i wanna see it.
If you have been to Kennedy you will know about the "Oh Shit" face when leaving the control room mockup and the last Apollo lying down at Houston is impressive

The fact that the L was a half grade came from the same reptat suggested d7ev to me, and that man knew how to read plugs

Delta, i disagree,
On the asvise of an ngk rep who was a well respected sidcar racer i used D7EV in my 500 that went all over the UK and to the Isle of Man regularly plus commuting 7 miles to work.
Never fouled, never failed yes nearly twice the price but well worth it  the =L was always sold as a "half grade"

« on: April 18, 2024, 07:57:34 AM »
Trigger had one stuck, or wrongly assembled from new and the pressure cracked the oil filter housing so i doubt yours is stuck solid.
The bolts inside the cam cover O ring should have copper wasers under the heads and the brackets for the end caps alloy ones

CB500/550 / Re: Where to Start?
« on: April 17, 2024, 08:53:59 PM »
The full Honda manual is there but you have to start with the 500 then all the supplements till you get to your model.
No real order for stripping but if you are going to do engine work it makes it easier and lighter to get out if you remove the head and barrels first.
Get an impact screwdriver with JIS bits and a 3/8 drive socket set with both long sockets and six sided
