400/4 restoration - it begins at last
Bryanj:
That adjuster bolts looks like most of the 400 i used to see as if the original broke or got lost and you did get the piece out most people just fitted a standard 6mm setscrew instead of paying for and waiting for the expensive Honda parts to do it right, just pray whoever did it relieved the end threads(ground the diameter down) as they tend to mushroom the inner end which destroys the crankcase thread when you undo it. Can be wiser to wait till you have the crankcases separated so you can file the end of the bolt before winding it out.

Thanks Trig, You do know your job, did we ever doubt it! ;)

Cheers Bryan,will do.
Rozabikes Tim:
Nuts on cam sprocket suitably heated, head off, barrels off. Have to say all looks good at first glance. Nothing measured but promising :)
Can't find clutch nut tool and too impatient to order one and wait, so will modify an old socket with grinder. :P
Post some pics over the weekend if I get chance.
Really loving doing this. It is such a change for a mere curtain engineer!
