Cb400f head thickness

(1/2) > >>

amx1992:
The head on my bike looks like it has been skimmed badly, more on one end than the other. Does anyone know how thick the stock head is so I can work out how much has been removed?

Cheers

amx1992:
Does anyone have a 400 head and a micrometer or even calipers, they could measure rocker cover face to head gasket face for me, bit stuck atm.

Trigger:
Head is 52.50 at the stud points in the picture indicated in red ;)

Absolute lifesaver, cheers trigger. Ill find out tomorrow how much has been skimmed off, i have a horrible feeling its a lot.

Trigger:
If a 350 or 400/4 head has been skimmed, it is very easy to tell as, the head surface is very close to the bottom fins and will slightly touch the fins if a lot is skimmed of  ;)

If the head surface is nearer the fins on one side of the head compared to the opposite side, then that is normal to old Honda castings .
