Thanks Oddjob. Still no joy. Sometimes I think I can see something then I look again and can't see anything. Not enough to be sure of anything, will have to buy a better measuring stick to be sure of what I need.

CB350/400 / CB400 Oil Way Plug
« on: March 07, 2018, 04:59:49 PM »
Can anyone advise on the best way to remove this plug, see pic. I am assuming it's removable as the parts manual shows it has an O ring. It feels tight and I don't want to use any unnecessary force. Does it just pull out with a bit of effort? Would like to replace the O ring when I rebuild. Cheers.

Hi Bryan,
I can only pick out four 1s and three As. I have attached a picture of DayvW's crank from a previous post and highlighted the A and 1 that I cannot see on my crank. The crank in the picture is the same orientation as my crank when I am looking.

Thanks Oddjob.
I am assuming A and 1 as I have measured the crank. Although my measuring stick isn't very accurate the measurements were repeatable across the crank. Thanks also for the advise on fitting the next size up journals. If I select to go the next size up is it best to fit all the journals next size up or keep the right size for the ones I know for sure?

Hi Bryan, I have the following:
Crankcase   BABBBB
Crank          1?, 1A, 1A, 1A, ?
Conrods      2131
Some of the crank markings are barely visible, the question marks are where I think it's probably an A and a 1.

Having taken the conrods off I have found that the journals are of similar condition to the mains. A bit u/s. Crank looks pretty good though, no marks, very smooth. One problem I have is that I can't see all the crankshaft markings. The crankcase is marked BABBB. The conrods 2131. So the info I have is as diagram:
[ Guests cannot view attachments ]

Assuming the missing marks are A and 1, am I right in assuming the main journals are Green, Yellow, Green, Green, Green and the big ends are Yellow, Red, Green, Red?

Your right Phil. Deep down I knew there would be hidden costs.
Julie, I was keeping a record of my costs but I think I'll just put the receipts in a tin and forget the totting up. At least that way it won't feel too bad. Don't wont to cut corners, like you say 'do it right, do it once'.

Yes Laverda, I can feel it with my nail. A couple of the others are worse than I thought and all have shiny patches to some extent. Now I suppose I have to look at the big ends as they could be as bad. Not a good weekend, looking more expensive every day.  :(

Thanks all. I am like you Laverda, I want to ride it so will take a look at your link. I have found a thread on the 'blanking bolt' (no.11). Looks from the thread that it turns out to be a blanking bolt so will look at other options rather than €35 + p&p!!!

Thanks for the advise Laverda. I will set up a good light and see what I can see.

CB350/400 / Another little issue!!

When I removed the camchain tensioner bolt a nice length of thread came with it. I know I have read on here the pros and cons of helicoils and timeserts but I can't find the thread that explains which is better for open and blind holes. Can anyone help? The bolt that sits above the tensioner rod looks home made. Can anyone advise on what the bolt should be?

This is the centre journal. Looks marked compared with all the others. Is this usable or should I try and find a replacement? Having said that I can't find any of the letters and numbers yet!!
