CB400F Engine rebuild
Laverda Dave:
£300 for all those parts, you've done very well.
There was a thread on here about replacements for those dowty washers but I can't find it!
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
I'd like to think my inevitable engine rebuild could be done in that budget!

It would have been a lot more if I'd needed new main or big end shells. 😊

Finally getting around to reassemble my engine. I've been delayed by the central heating boiler going on the blink, now I have to get a new boiler. 🤨
Anyhow, crankcases assembled and torqued down. Primary shaft and gear fitted then kickstart shaft and spring hooked up. New pistons fitted after checking ring gaps in the bores. Cylinders on, I fed the pistons and rings in by hand, middle ones first. They went in without any bother, one ring at a time, working the cylinders down gradually. I was very relieved when they were all in, no breakages! 🙂
Cylinder head on and torqued down. Making progress, should be finished soon. 👍
Nurse Julie:
This all brings back memories of my engine, with the exciting stage of getting it all back together. That was 3 years ago, where have they gone 😢😢😢😢
