Engine rebuild Parts list
Laverda Dave:
Ash has come to your rescue,. Go to Ash's Dropbox on the top menu bar and you will find the Honda shop manual for the CB350/400. It contains ALL the information you need to rebuild your bike.
Laverda Dave:
It all sounds very complicated but is actually very easy once you find the crank codes. Use a magnifying glass as it will make it easier.
The difficulty starts when it comes to locating the shells and prising open the wallet to pay for them!
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
Mains
Black 13315-333-003
Brown 13316-333-003
Green 13317-333-003
I believe these are the colours & part numbers for the 400 mains in descending order of thickness, Black being the thickest.
This is for the conrod bearings.
Black 13215-333-003
Brown 13216-333-003
Green 13217-333-003
Yellow 13218-333-003
Red 13219-333-003
Some colours are harder to source.

The table and codes works for crankshaft and case in as new condition. The crankcase is protected by the shell so should not have altered but any wearon the crank journals and the codes could be misleading. Hence Plastigauge. I could not find the codes on the crankshaft and I think it is quite typical that they have disappeared. If like I said above you assume your crank is in the smaller diameter pins category you can then use the case codes to conservatively pick a shell that will be thick enough, assuming it’s available which is the next problem. Looking at the 550 table my choice was going to be green, brown or the unavailable black so going brown across the board was my compromise choice, backed up by Plastigauge.engine turned freely and oil pressure witnessed by valve cover spray is good.
Dolomite_:
My plan is when the new crankshaft arrives, figure out the shells needed from the codes and order 1 set, then try that set with plastigauge and see what it shows. I'll then probably ask for some advice here.
