500 engine strip
mickwinf:
Well this is what happens when you have some spare time and a Honda engine, I was just going to clean and paint but decided to strip it down to check the condition as it is an unknown. The hardest thing was getting the barrels off, they were stuck, the rest of the strip down went very well. It is in pretty good condition, crank is good and gears seem ok except the centre selector is badly worn, anyone have a spare? Will replace all gaskets and seals, also primary and camchains. will keep me busy!

Nice one Mick you know you love doing it and in the END when finished you know its GOOOD.
Cheers

Hmm... that bag of extra rapid cement nearby just waiting for the 'right moment'!
Bryanj:
That centre selector is very hard to find in good order now, its the same as a 350 twin i think so the US ebay is probably your best bet mate
mickwinf:
ha Lobo I think the moment has passed for the cement, gone hard already! Bryan will try ebay USA.
