OAP Ted's CB400F2 rebuild - engine not run for about 12 years.
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
Thanks for that I knew about the Carbs & Oil Filter but not the sump.

This is the clutch cover after stripping with Nitromores before painting I used 1500 grit to remove virtually all of the dark oxidation patches it took me less than an hour..

This is after the painting & baking in the kitchen oven - no sheep were harmed in the painting or photography process.

Love it - I guess I left myself open for that one.

Will it not come out as a complete unit?
I can easily obtain assistance with a lift out.

Oh yes, it will come out in one lump very easily with 2 of you Ted. I assumed you would be doing it on your own and didn't want you to get a double hernia on top of your other issues

If there was room for bodies & hands I can get 2 to help me. Too late for a hernia warning they found a small one when I had my last scan. I've no idea how I got it as I'm very careful when I lift anything - I don't do heavy. Lol

Too close to the truth in that comment John - if I carry on at my present spending rate I will have spent more on parts than I did on buying the bike in June 2020!
Since lock down I've done the accountants / auditors trick - my eating out budget, fuel budget & holiday budget have been subsidising the bike build so it's not really costing anything - just swapping budgets with a small net saving.lol
