This bad boy was the biggest pain in the arse, fully seized and came pre-rounded by the previous owner
Literally tried everything to get it off, cutting a slot and using an impact hammer, cutting new flats and trying to get a spanner on it, using this plumbers tool thing, heat, and finally going medieval and cutting it to bits and smashing it with a chisel.
unfortunately I've damaged the filter housing, not too much but enough that i know its going to annoy me.

I've just been reading through this at work and it made me chuckle. I know your pain, I bet it was a huge relief getting it out!

I'm back baby!
It's been like 2 months but I'm now back in the UK ready to crack on with this heap.
Left the frame with a welder before I left, just gave him a call to see if I can pick it up and he still hasn't done it.. useless.
I've got a huge box of new parts from David Silvers and stuff I picked up stateside and all the parts that have come off the bike have been cleaned up. The main job left now is the engine and I literally don't know where to start! Is there any good guides out there on how to tear the 750 lump downs and what to look for? I'm going to be out my depth but that's the only way I'll ever learn ::)
MarkCR750:
There are quite a few SOHC engine rebuild videos on youtube, no idea which one is best but I guess you can scan through a few of them and pick up some decent info.

still not got stuck into the lump yet as I've moved house and now have no garage to hand :/
Going to have to do it bit by bit when I can return to where it's garages on weekends.
The frame has been at the welders since the beginning of time and he's still not done the rear hoop. Just got off the phone from him and he's having trouble getting the hoop itself fabricated as he can't do it in house. Apparently the bloke he's using to do it can only make it by welding 2 90 degree bends together giving it a squared off end.. something which I don't want.
Anyone know if anyone supplies pre made rear hoops?
