Thanks, Greenbat, taken that onboard.Bike is stripped of everything apart from handlebars and wheels.With oil drained I might try turning the sucker upside down, like you do with a pushbike and have a close look at what is going on, give it a right good soaking with penetrant over a week then hit it with some heat.

Thanks for info, much appreciated. , especially about bolt size very important for correct fit. Will source new bolts first just in case the existing ones are scrapped. Will try the blowlamp first as this worked well when the front brake pipe and bleed was undone.

CB350/400 / REMOVING ENGINE OF 400F

Hi All,     I am trying to remove the engine from a 400four but am having difficulty removing the lower front engine to frame bolts. The nuts are trapped in the underside of the crankcase Haynes P15.5.24. Have tried penetrating oil over several days but am starting to round the bolt heads, photo. Do I have to resort to using a blowtorch?
