Starting to look like an engine again.

Valvecover installed, so the valves are opening and closing again. I still get a bit anxious when setting cam shaft timing. I must have checked a dozen times and still turned the crank to a position that no piston was at tdc when the cover went on.

Also renewed the seal of the tacho drive as well, and obviously all O-rings.

Feels very smooth when turning with the kickstart by hand.

Engine all buttoned up. Got a nice boop-boop-boop-boop on the kickstart showing signs of compression (there's no exhaust yet) and needs a good amount (not too much, not too little) of force on the kick starter.
Dared to push the starter button and that sounded very normal.

Next, exhaust, throttle cables, clutch, and some small other stuff.

What a lovely sound...... Boop, Boop, Boop... Its very encouraging 👍👍👍

Still waiting for new exhaust studs, so decided to refurbish the rear wheel with new bearings and seals, and changed the tyre from 4,10-18 to 4,00-18. Gives a fuller look and matches better with the front 3,50-18.
Rim will need some paint touch up, which I will do in spring with warmer temperatures.

And planning for the 4-4 exhaust.

Yeahhh, one side finished. Let’s see how long these sewage pipes hold  ;D

So, I’m using the original header pipes of my 350 4-4, and the original damper hangers, to get the nice tapered look.
The honda pipes are 32mm outside diameter. The idea is to fabricate these pvc mock-ups out of 35-1,5 mm heater pipe (a size relatively easily available), which will be an exact fit to clamp on the headers.
At the silencer side, I will need to make some sort of widening ring, to bump the diameter up to 40 mm or more, so the “silencer” can clamp down.
