Title: CB550 Dowel Pin Location
Post by: ashtonjason on July 21, 2016, 11:32:52 AM

Hi all, I am new to this and need a little help.  I am currently rebuilding a 1977 cb550 k3 and turning it into a cafe racer.  I have currently got most of the engine back from vapour blasting and have been doing a dry fit of all the internals to make sure there are no spare parts left over before I glue up the case. 

Well I have two dowel pins which I can not find a home for.  They are solid and measure 10mm x 16mm.  I have two already located in the engine case towards the carb side of the crank, but I can not find where the other two go. 

Any help would be much appreciated.  Any further information just let me know

Are they the ones from the top of the head to locate the cam cover?

You are fantastic, yes they are.  For some reason I thought bolts went through, but wrong there.  This is great news I can get on with joining the case together.

Once again, thanks,
