AshimotoK0:
I think the good thing is that this is all going on in the clutch area so am i right in thinking that so long as I fit a decent countershaft 20mm needle roller bearing , everthing else can be sorted without further engine removal?
This bikes not going to cover loads of miles and has done 22k at least already so perhaps I can just assemble and gather the uprated parts, as and when. I don't want it to be another 750K0 and I want to keep the momentum going.
Bryanj:
Yes Ash, as long as the internal bearings are all OK the selector mechanism can be sorted out later.
I do not know why Honda put a clutch cover in the "Kit" unless there is some sort of casting mod on the inside but later covers are(were) relatively available as are the detents and if you fit the engine to frame without clutch or cover fitted it can all be done afterwards.
DO NOT fit engine without the generator cover attached as it is all that holds in the main gallery blanking plug and should you turn the engine over to circulate oil you get a big puddle plus a laborious search for a plug that has disappeared and is not magnetic---Yes I have got that T shirt!!!
Trigger:
Parts books and manuals wrong, I wonder why I have never used them ;D ;D ;D
AshimotoK0:
Well got in from pub and measured both shafts as 20mm so yes you are correct Ken not the same type though different outer housings and cage design for needle retention. So both bearings are 20mm and both are 20mm on CB250/350k gearbox too.

Plenty of progress but all boring stuff like trying to hone the old bores and see if they come up to scratch, cleaning crankcases etc
Got quite a few parts on order from Yamiya that are common to the 400/4 and CB750 (Hyvo primary chain and dampers, bearings etc.)
Also fixed the drill on LHS for a tenner and a bust iPad Air I was given free , for a tenner... so joining you James with the new technology ;D The bit of wood in the drill is used to get into awkward corners on the crankcases whilst cleaning in the parts washer.
