OAP Ted's CB400F2 rebuild - engine not run for about 12 years.
Laverda Dave:
Well done Ted. You could have it running before the weather turns bad👍.
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
Started the decoke of the cylider head so far No:1 cylinder valves nicely ground in just need to do a bit more on No:2 inlet.
.Head decoking started by Macabe Thiele, on Flickr
Laverda Dave:
A nice way to spend a boring Saturday afternoon Ted. Are you going to skim the head?

As the head gasket was not leaking before I dismantled the engine plus I have been careful to not damage the contact surfaces I can't see the need - I will carefully remove any old bits of gasket so am hoping a skim is not required.
Probably worth getting it checked against suitable flat device - I plan to ask my friend who is a mobile mechanic how they check alloy heads at work - not sure what the protocols are on the sohc site.
Do you have a view Dave?
Laverdaroo:
Dont they check them on an engineers plate or a sheet of glass? (or is that the back street 2 stroke tuner in me piping up)?
