Mike's CB550 Project
Bryanj:
Those are perfect mate
Mike_Berkshire:
Thanks Bryan! I’m dead chuffed that I managed to do this :-)
Mike_Berkshire:
All in all and thanks to all the advice and guidance from the forum; good progress this weekend. The engine is now back together, valve timing done and inlet tappets set. The exhaust tappets will be set shortly when the feeler gauges arrive which will allow me to measure the right gap. My current gauges gave me the choice of 0.05mm and 0.1mm with nothing in between. I also had a nice surprise in that I had a proper look at the tank and the seat for the first time since I had stripped the bike down. The seat pan has very little corrosion, just some pitting coming through the paint in places and the tank has just one dent; I thought it had 2 for some reason.
Exhaust system coming this week (4 into 1 Stainless Delkevic) and once that is on the next mountain to scale is the electrics.
