CB350F Restoration by royhall (NOW FINISHED)
royhall:
Yes I think there are two at the back. I have some 8mm dowels but I cant for the life of me find where they fit. Should be the same on the 400 so somebody will hopefully know. With a bit of luck somebody will put me straight before tomorrow so I can carry on getting the engine finished this weekend.
Should be picking up the powder coating tomorrow. So hopefully if I can get the engine together tomorrow and Saturday, will try and get it back in the frame.

Don't know if this is any help ....
The 400 Parts List does appear to show 4 dowels (2 off 8x14, 2 off 10x14, parts 330 and 331). Not clear where they go though.
The Haynes manual in the section on reassembling the crankcases says 'replace the two dowels' (section 44.3).
Member andut is rebuilding his 400 engine, maybe he can help.

I cant trust the Haynes manual for the 350 as its written for 350/500 and the engine they are using is a 500. Although for the main components they are the same, you cannot trust the detailed stuff as there are just so many differences. The Clymer manual is similar in that its written for 350/550, although in that one there are separate diagrams for the two.
Chris400F:
I know what you mean about Haynes manuals. I think it was the one for the CB450 (Black Bomber) that neglected to mention putting the kickstart shaft back in when rebuilding, then you realise there is a spare hole in the crankcases and some bits left over .... fortunately before I had gone too much further. Wish I still had that one.
The Haynes manual for the 400 is written for the 400 and 550 and has pictures specific to both. Unfortunately there seem to be none that show any dowels. I mentioned what it said as I saw it and it was the only reference I found.
Best I can suggest is contacting andut to see if he can offer any suggestions.

Cheers Chris will send him a PM. Was hoping to get on with it this afternoon. Never mind its better right tomorrow as wrong today.
