The K1 was fitted with two different types of crank cases fitted. The early K1's had the crank cases used from the K0's ( with slight changes in the castings ) and moved on to the later cases, which were used on some of the K2's.
The engine evolved over the years with 3 different types of oil pumps, 3 different clutch baskets, 2 different selector drums and so on. I don't need to see a engine numbers to know what year it is :o Or if it has the wrong barrels or head fitted for that year. I have never found anyone that has wrote a book on all the correct detailing of the CB750K engines.

You can't beat knowledge gained by actually working on these engines over a lifetime....or practical experience in any job...and a good job for us that you and others are willing to share it! 👍

I've not posted anything on this thread for some time, things have progressed slowly but my motor , now Trigger has sorted the top end out for me, is now ready to be fitted into the frame. Wheels are done just waiting for tyres, zinc plating done, chrome plating done, powder coating done. Left to do is paintwork, find a few parts that were missing or beyond repair and begin saving up for a full exhaust system, oh and probably replace most of the rubber parts that are rock hard. Things are beginning to get exciting, should have a rolling chassis soon!

Looking fantastic Mick.
