CB 500 resurrection
Oddjob:
Some people say they are copper and some say they are steel. Both are correct. I've seen both fitted. They are the same part number as the lower crankcase bolts use. I have a load lying around. How many do you need?
The dowels may have been destroyed by the PO as they can resist coming out and they tend to distort when you force them. I'd order some new ones.
Sesman:
I would. They are a couple of quid each, but new is good for peace of mind.
Laverdaroo:
as mine were a bit passed tneir best. Keeps your head in the righ place if your'e sure you've done it the best you can.

Having another look for washers.

How hard is it to get the cam through the chain?
I "dry" fitted the head and just cant get the cam through the sprocket, the chain dont seem long enough. I removed the tensioner and its still to tight.
I must be doing something wrong or there's a nack I haven't got. I have to go out now but Ill google for a "how to" video when I get back.
