CB750 / Opening that can of worms

« on: April 05, 2024, 05:10:36 PM »

Hi there, posted a while ago when i joined the forum, unfortunately life got in the way for a little bit, but i have finally got my 1978 cb750 project bike. one thing im thinking is to send the engine away to get properly looked at, change piston rings, seals, gaskets, and just have someone look at it. i have no history on the bike. so im thinking i dont know who has had it open or done what to it. so if im going to restore this bike i may as well do it properly from the start. i do have some mechanical knowledge but not enough to strip and rebuild an engine even with todays youtube guide. so after that long winded intro. my question is, is there a go to place to send a cb750 SOHC engine to get looked at? also if anyone has a rough price on what said work might cost providing they find nothing majorly wrong with the engine? thanks in advance. and be sure this will be the first of very many questions lol.

Hey guys, im wondering what you think is the best workshop manual, i am a bit of a bike newbie. but i am ok with this sort of things. ive used hayes manuals before on cars and i dont actually think they are that good. any hints or tips would be great, its the cb750 maybe 1978 but not too sure until i get the bike picked up later this month
