My first project - 1974 CB360 K0
Craizeehair:
Found it, spacer for the lower left bracket.
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
A similar spacer was missing on my 400 the PO replaced it with about 8 washers!
Max came to the rescue with a SS one - cost less than a replacement from CMS.
Craizeehair:
I got into the engine tonight to check the cam bearings and cam shaft as advised. I think I’ve been lucky, everything seems to be in good shape there. A couple of the rocker arms appear to have some substantial pitting. If anyone has any advice as to the actual condition of these bits and if I’m wrong about the condition, I would be all ears.
On the down side, I think I may have found a problem. I cleaned up the engine a bit and found what looks to be a crack, as a complete novice I’m unsure of what to do or if I have this wrong, again, any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
AshimotoK0:
I don't think that's a crack it's a mould flash mark.
Some wear on cam flanks typical of that model. Journals don't look too bad ... again for that model as I have seen some real horrors..
May be worth sending cam and rockers to Newman cams for assessment.
