CB350/400 / Trouble putting Rocker Box Cover back on...
« on: November 30, 2018, 04:34:19 PM »
I went to replace my newly painted Rocker Box Cover and like every second thing I take of this CB400F it doesn't want to go back on. It just will not sit flush on the cylinder head, close the gap on one side and it opens on the other. I can't see anything obstructing it. Referred Haynes to manual and saw there is sequence of bolt tightening to follow, ok...but 'make sure tappets are slackened first'... does this mean I have to slacken the nuts I see through the inspection covers? I can't think why. Not enough daylight to work where I am now so I hope someone can help for tomorrow?
