CB750F2 .... silk purse from a sows ear.
SumpMagnet:
Bugger...
Minor slip lifting the frame, after I forgot the breather cover.. and stopped to remove it. Damn thing settled and nipped my hand between head and frame. Inch long gouge in hand and claret all over the shop. Joy.
Off to casualty and a few days delay finishing the job.
Damn...damn....damn and bother.
Still..on the plus side, all the engine bolts came out sweet and there are no cracks, chunks or nasties on the cases I can see. There are some dog eared screws on the end cases, and I know they are not coming out without a fight. The X is already an O..
Had an oil leak from under the generator cover, so that will need looking at. Not sure there should evenbe oil there....
So.
1) get stitched up
2) clean up the message I made
3) work out how to do this job with one less hand....

The CB750 alternator runs in oil, so there should be oil in there.
SumpMagnet:
Ok...that's a relief :)
I think someone tried to get in there before, butchered the screws trying to get the end cover off...then just took the whole thing off and refitted with the old gasket. It looked all fine diwn there, but was leaking badly. Once i get around to it....I will clean all the muck away and have a proper look and check for signs of damage.
Meantime...doctors orders say no lifting/heavy work for at least a week...then it's back to getting the frame off then engine. Breaks my heart seeing her lying on her side out the back...and me unable to help. Still...the motor is supported on wooden blocks and I have wedged the frame too, so the end cases are nowhere near the deck, and the load is on the block/barrel and engine mounts.

I wish you could still get them. I could do with some new ones.
