Tools for full engine rebuild

<< < (2/2)

Laverda Dave:
Sorry, I forgot to mention the circlip pliers as mentioned by Ted. Don't buy cheap ones because a couple of the roller bearings in the engine are quite big and are held in place with equally large circlips that need a decent pair of circlip pliers to remove them. Cheap ones twist and the very thin prongs break off. Make sure you wear safety glasses when removing the circlips as there is a lot of spring energy stored in these when you remove them and if the pliers let go as you remove them they will fly across the workshop!

Man Of Kent:
Thanks for all the advice so far, very much appreciated. Laverda Dave, you mention Hondabond, which one is better 4 or HT?

Cheers

taysidedragon:
Also useful is a thread pitch gauge (metric) so that you can work out what to buy to replace any unusable bolts, screws or nuts. Honda use course, fine and extra-fine threads in different areas.

Threebond or Yamabond are usually cheaper than Hondabond and just as good.

I live near Ashford, and rebuilt my CB400F2 last year so I should have all the essential tools if you need to borrow any
