CB400/4 ENGINE STRIP, ASSESSMENT AND REBUILD BY JULIE - NOW COMPLETE

<< < (49/107) > >>

matthewmosse:
You can also use monosodium disulphode or molyslip- at least that's what I think it's called. I bought a few tubes from a local factory clearance years ago as I was doing a bmw engine rebuild ( actually ended up doing 2 as I spent a fortune doing 1, then found a full kit of parts, all crank 're grinding etc done and twin plugging conversion done too which was on my to do list at a bargin price, the other engine is still sat in my loft, having never run. One day it may become a trike.

Nurse Julie:
The rest of the cases have now been painted and cured.

The damage to the combustion chambers on cylinders 2,3 and 4 has been tidied up. Considering what a state they were in I think they have come up very well.

Before

I am in line (although at the end of a very long line !!) to have the head skimmed and the valve seats 'kiss' cut.

Trig has also dropped the front forks out for me today, so I can take them apart, do whatever needs doing, fit new seals, refill with oil and refit to the bike. Hopefully this will stop the feeling I get sometimes that the forks, when fully compressed, are actually getting stuck in the down position. (Link to my fork overhaul thread http://www.sohc.co.uk/index.php/topic,14717.0.html).He is also going to skim the front brake disk as part of the never ending quest to stop the front brake squeaking as everything else he has done has made no difference at all. It's fine some days and not others, a bloody pain in the arse.
