Cleaning??

<< < (2/2)

JonnyB:
I live in Lincolnshire so lots of hills, bends and country road, as for riding, I had a beamer until a few months ago, but sold it, running two cars and a bike was getting expensive. I also own the 1976  CB750 F that is currently featured in these articles.

 :angry: A couple of years ago it suffered from a major camshaft failure, so I decided to strip it and feature the rebuild process on this website.

jimshea:
Where will I find the rebuild article on your F?
Do you know of anyone in Surrey for servicing of these bikes?
I am not technical and have a lot to learn before I mess with the bike myself!!

jimshea:
I used Autosol, specifically for non polished metal and alloys and it worked well, it made the heads, and alloy engine covers shine, not a bright shine, but a decent shine for alloy...

JonnyB:
The engine rebuild is an on going group of articles that will progress as time and money allows.

see http://www.sohc.co.uk/index.php?option=com_content&task=category&sectionid=6&id=46&Itemid=55 for the current list.

If there is anything you need to know, post a message in the forum. If you have an idea for an article let me know. Or you could write it yourself and send it to http://mailto:editor@sohc.co.uk

Hi Jim

Have a look at this......  http://www.frost.co.uk/item_Detail.asp?productID=8784
I have used this on my engine and it's pretty good, it takes a few mins to get a hold but once it starts it works.

I would suggest that you get all the oil and heavy stuff off first, spray some of this stuff on and leave for 5 - 10 mins, you will need some form of agitator like a small stiff nylon brush (like a long bristled toothbrush) give it a scrub then apply some more. You will know when it's working as it fizzes slightly keep repeating this process and you will end up with a nice bright shiny piece of engine.

A word of warning though....... Don't leave it on too long.......  10 - 15 mins absoloute max as it will start to 'burn' the ally and it will go black and that's a bitch to get back!!!

 these bods have some good stuff, a little pricey but it is kinda specialised http://www.frost.co.uk/default.asp


Good luck, drop us a line if it works !!!

Robin.
