Barrels and head painted or not?

(1/2) > >>

AshimotoK0:
This is really a message for SteveD. Do you know if Eamon's K0 has painted head and barrels or not, as I think it was part of the same batch of UK750 imported in Jan '70 as mine. I am getting mine bead blasted  shortly but unsure if they were originally painted or not.

Cheers

SteveD CB500K0:
I don't know Ash.

I'll ask him.

Spitfire:
I would think that the engine should be painted, all of my CB750's had painted engines, CB750K0, K1, K2, F1 and of course the F2.

crankcases, barrels, head were all painted.

AshimotoK0:
Cheers for that Chris - your advice on here is greatly appreciated.  BTW I think UKPete now has the 'Bug'

Am I correct in assuming the valve cover is clear coated?

I know you use Simoniz 5-wheel silver  for the crankcases ( as I did on my 400/4 way back in '86) but what about the barells / head? Any recommendations?

BTW I found this on the early conrod replacement etc

Interesting to note that all of the early rods were all matched to within 2.5grammes - perhaps it was to achieve the 'tumbler of water on the seat demo'

Have you ever used this stuff I mentioned in this post for rust treatment - its absolutely brilliant
