Engine Strip - I'm nervous

<< < (5/11) > >>

Guys,
Bit off-topic but seems that lots of the 400's have broken piston rings (mine included but just on one piston) - is there something 'different' about the engine design that causes this as I haven't come across it on other makes / models?

Cheers,
Andy

I find broken rings in a lot of old engines. If the engine has been sitting about for years, the rings will stick and when someone attempts to start it, the stress will break the ring as it starts to free off  ;)

Thanks Trigger

I know back in the 70's did a lot of 175 twin and 250K4 with broken rings. Chased most of them down to being thrashed from cold

Hi

has anyone bought these bearings (not from Mr Honda himself) but from a normal bearing supplier?

If so, can you tell me the size or the bearing number.

Thanks
