hondatri:
 Can anyone help me with a supplier of Piston ring clamps for my 400/4 I dont want to use a make up one.

hairygit:
You shouldn't really need any with the lead in taper machined in the bottom of the barrels, never neede them on a Honda engine!:))

Trigger:
Honda 400 four's do not need a piston ring clamp. They should slide in with a little wiggle.
hairy, You have never done a CX500, VT500, NTV or ST. Need a clamp on one of those Honda's.

hairygit:
You're right there Trig, hate V engines, plus I like to stick to older stuff:))

Hi,
    Over the years I have gained 2 different retail sets the right size for the 400/4 bore, but unfortunatly although the bore size was OK, the "depth" is two long and useless on the short length of stroke, as already stated, it is fairly easy to use the existing taper on the bores, even dress the taper a little, and  rock the  pistons into place, especially when the engine is out of the frame and easy to handle.
