400/4 cyl.head

Ash, if you have a head with end caps it can be white metal and line bored. No end caps is a problem.

I've now got two nice sets of end caps for the 250 (took some bleedin finding though.. usual German transaction rather than eBay UK 'well they look serviceable mate rubbish'). I have also got a worn pair and all of the needle roller parts and spacers etc (Timken) to do a needle conversion with them. Think I am just going with standard and bung all of the needle roller bits on eBay sometime. Don't let anyone on HondaTwins.net tell you those needle roller components can be had for $50 ... even with mega trade discount they cost double that ( well for decent quality and with the oil hole in anyway).

I did once see a CB360G5 with cam bearings that were phosphor broze bush inserts. Problem is you need to 'scallop' out a bit to let the oil puddle... OK if you are an experienced machinist but there is not much 'meat' to bore into.

Cheers ... Ash

Thanks for replies guys. I am looking for another/better head.
Is the cyl. head of a 400/4 the same as a 350/4 ?

Dont take my word for this but  I remember reading that when the 350 came out it did not go to the UK GUTLEES AS i RECALL .For the Uk Honda redid the stroke etc to take it to 406? so in my opinion they did not do a new head maybe be wrong but I am sure the others will corect me.
