Thanks Mike. I'll invest in a lower range multimeter I think.

Doddle, thanks for the clip. Easy when you know how or more exact someone shows you. Cheers.

Being bit thick here -guess air line goes on base that goes in oil pump . What psi would you recommend? Not sure what to do with multimeter..part is not fitted to bike.

electrics is not my thing, so I've been following Mr Haynes/Clymer. i tested the three yellow wires as it says but the minimum value should be 0.65 ish so if i'm getting more than that averaging 1.0 -1.5 am i OK or is the coil kaput?

Is there a way of testing an oil pressure switch to see if it works. i appear to have continuity in the wire but not sure if the switch works. it is not a new part and is part of the very long rebuild re-using as many parts as i can .

i'm confused (again) i'm about to install new valves having inserted the valve guides. however i need a valve guide reamer which seem as rare as unicorn poo! the part no for a reamer is 07984-200-0001 but could be at least 8-10 weeks or longer from David Silver - i asked! but the Honda workshop manual i have shows 2 seperate reamers for exhaust AND inlet valves being 079843770000 and 079842000000 rspectively.
question is do i need the 2 seperate reamers or will one do the job, the valve stems look the same size and as there doesn't appear to be any reamers around has anyone got any tips on doing this without a reamer? a mate suggested running an old valve down the guide with grinding paste on it but i'm not sure.

probably old news for most of you but anyone got any tips on fitting gudgeon pin clips. i put the first one in on the piston before putting the pin in on con rod easy but obviously the next one has to go on in situ as it were. well i'm now short a gudgeon pin clip , it pinged out and shot out the workshop door and is some where out there! didn't know so much energy could be in such a small clip! there must be a trick somewhere I'm missing.at least i stuffed the holes with rags to stop it dropping into the engine. perhaps i'll close the workshop door next time!

Thanks all...put my mind at rest. my wife said the gear lever exerts a different pressure and the absence of oil might be hindering perhaps i'll get her to do the rest!

i'm just reassembling a 400/4 engine and have got the crank cases together and the external selector mechanism, next stage is assembling the clutch. however my trusty Haynes manual says to try the gear selection mechanism - so with a pair of molegrips on the gear shift side i tried the gears and to be honest a bit chunky and clunky would be the best description. my question is is this normal and should I just carry on assembly or , and please dont say it, but do I need to split the crankcases again and sort the problem out. I feel i know the answer but i'm hoping i'm wrong. this is the first time i've ever done this so are there are tricks i've missed?

new to this so sorry if it's an old question. i'm doing a rebuild of a 400/4 from bits...an awful lot of bits! well it seemed a good idea at the time..i need black crankshaft bearing shells. sadly mr silver lists them as discontinued..argh does anyone know where i can source others. the part number is 13315333003. cheers Bill
