Title: Connecting rod, which way??
Post by: neilg on January 01, 2018, 01:49:29 PM

I'm doubting myself after looking at the parts lists. On the F2 parts the rod is shown with the bearing tabs to the front, ie exhaust side. www.cmsnl.com/honda-cb750f2-super-sport-england_model14689/partslist/E15.html#results
On the K2 list it is shown to the rear.  ww.cmsnl.com/honda-cb750k2-four-england_model14363/partslist/E17.html#results

I would appreciate any thoughts. I realise a parts list is no definitive but as I say it's thrown doubt upon what I thought was correct.

In Honda's F2 workshop manual it has the following statement " caution, be sure bearing caps are installed in their correct location and the bearing pawls point to the front of the engine. Torque the cap bolts"

This is in a little box in section named " connecting rod assembly "

Hope that helps.

Ta mate that's confirmed what I thought was right.... just a little mad moment there.
