Doms CB550F1 project
DomP:
Ken, do you remember offering any more help I might need? 😉 I might be asking a few questions
Bryanj:
Its either been stood too long with a valve open, or the cam cover has not been reassembled to the head carefully enough and a valve stem got bent!
DomP:
Someone's been in there before me, theres dodgy red gasket sealant on the cases which can't be a good sign. I've never fully stripped an engine before, now I know you are all going to say pull the whole engine and strip it fully but could I pull the head and barrels in the frame and see what I find before going any further.
Bryanj:
Yup, its easier to do that way as it makes the lump lighter.
The full honda 500/550 manual is in either Ashs dropbox or alladins cave so download it and read, especially the bit about refitting cam cover!!!
Trigger:
If any valves are bent Dom, get a magnify glass and check that non of the valve guides are cracked. Even a small hairline crack will open up once the engine has warmed up ;)
