CB350F Rusteration
Moorey:
No just a pad of cloths on the bench to beat it on and used the rounded end of a old ratchet as a hammer. It doesn't need much its only thin. Gentle as you go. ;D
kevski:
You are cleaning away all the patina ;), i don't think my 350f has ever been cleaned thoroughly in it's 47 years, though i do wipe down the bright work a couple of times a year, i must get round to it this spring .
Moorey:
One mans patina is another mans muck. ;D, What about all that patina you have wiped away on the brightwork :( Don't worry it will get mucky again as it will be my daily rider for a good while. I just want it to look like a old bike that's had a bit of love shown. :)
Moorey:
Well the smoke got the better of me and I removed the exhausts. Number 3 is the smoker and I am hoping it is just the stem seal that's knackered. Whats my chances of it just been the valve stem seal. Am I right in thinking to change the lower o ring the valve guide has to come out. Iv'e opened it up and it looks great inside, very clean a bit more of a indicator the 4000mls is genuine. I am going to order just one new valve seal to see if it cures it. I am doing it without removing the head. More as a exercise to see if I can. If it doesn't work and cure it I will just have to delve in a bit deeper.
The last pic is the seal and valve springs removed with the engine still in the bike with the head and carbs still on.
I will have to give some thought to putting it back together, but I have until the new seal comes. ;D
