New (to me!) '77 CB400F - US model
mattsz:
I almost threw away the washer that fits between the oil filter and the big spring - it was stuck to the filter and I didn't notice it until I was dropping the filter into the recycling bin.
The washer is bent. How on earth does that happen? It's sturdy enough that I can't bend it back with bare hands...
Bryanj:
Never seen a bent washer (probably found on workshop floor after being driven over), lost of missing ones yes. The aint expensive to replace.

Only very slightly bent... I'll flatten it back out with a hammer - or replace. Actually, it's probably fine as it is... just surprised to see it. I guess nothing should surprise me on this bike...

Still pondering the possibly cracked sump...
I'm still not sure if the cam chain tensioner action is working, but at least I've found that the external nuts and bolts are free and functional, so that's something. I know bryanj has described the simple procedure for setting the cam chain tension with the engine off, but is there a simple way of checking the action with the engine not running? I've photographed the internals through the bottom opening revealed by the sump removal, but I cannot see the tensioner horseshoe or the other parts... I'm not sure it's visible...

Anyone have any ideas about this?
