Possibly a bit difficult with head and barrels off ;)

Thanks for the input. All the possible scenarios were checked out before the strip down, carbs and ignition were eliminated at that point. The problem is head gasket failure, plus some other minor issues.

Didn't we have an issue with this company's rubber camchain tensioner wheels in the past?
The words don't, touch and bargepole spring to mind.

Before I rush into rebuilding the top half of the 350F, I have been doing a bit of research into the smokey 350 issue. It appears that the Cruzinimage piston kits for the 350F may be duff, but strangely nobody is reporting issues with the slightly larger 400F kits. I suspect it's more a problem with the cheap rings than the pistons. Has anyone had any success with the 350F kits, and is it possible to fit NOS Honda rings to Cruzinimage pistons? Daren't ask them directly as they have a habit of blacklisting and blocking people that ask too many questions, strange policy. It appears that just about everything I have had from this company has been duff (except the carb kits that worked very well).
