CB400/4 ENGINE STRIP, ASSESSMENT AND REBUILD BY JULIE - NOW COMPLETE
Nurse Julie:
I re used all the shells that I took out of the engine. They all measured a long way within service limit and had no scores, or damage so no reason not to reuse them again. Even if money was of no object I still wouldn't have changed them, as I saw no point in changing just for the fun of it. Also, I never had any issues with those components before the pistons broke up, no knocking or rumbling from anywhere. In fact, it really is only the pistons / rings / bores that are wrecked, everything else in the engine is in excellent condition. Yes, new seals etc fitted though, along with new primary and cam chains, blades etc.
Just looked, it was page 16 I mentioned I would be reusing all the original shells. I even used the original valve guides as they had no wear at all. (Shame really as I had managed to buy NOS guides just in case but surplus to requirement now !!!!)

thank you. that's very helpful as both my engines are low mileage so fingers crossed, i wont have to replace too much. does trigger supply gasket sets, seals, bearings etc for the 750?
Nurse Julie:
I'm sure Trig will be able to supply, just PM him nearer the time with your requirements.
haynes66:
great, thanks. and i hope you both have a happy and prosperous new year.
Nurse Julie:
Thank you and a Happy, Healthy and productive 2018 to you.
