CB550 refurb

Thanks Ken, just ordered one from DS.

On the sump front most annoyingly it is still weeping a little oil. Discovered after giving the engine a good heat as I was balancing the carbs. I have now a Honda rubber seal from DS which I will fit either to the sump pan that’s on the bike or the original one off the bike that requires a thread repair on the drain plug hole. I will try to compare sump gaskets once I have the sump removed, will see how the thread repair goes.

If you need a sump pan I’ve probably got one or 2 spare, even got one ceramic coated in satin black with the edges of the fins polished 😀😀😀 matches the oil filter housing I’ve also had done.

Thanks Ken! I’ll see how I get on with the thread repair on mine. Like the idea of the blinded up pan and filter housing, barrels too? I’ve just gone for boring silver! 😳😂

Repaired sump pan threads with a helicoil today, filled pan of water and will see if there’s any weeping overnight. This sump pan is in far better nick than the replacement I bought off eBay. Only changed because of the drain hole threads. Provided all is well I will clean up and paint and fit with new Honda sump pan gasket/rubber seal.
