Hi All,
I'm a new user here. I was helpfully pointed here and there's a lot of great resources, I'm just getting started looking around.

I'm trying to help my dad, who recently bought a low-mileage 1977 Honda CJ360T to ride around for fun. Unfortunately, the chain snapped just after he bought it, cracking the engine case and doing some other related damage. I think I may have sourced a replacement crankcase, but still need a clutch actuator rod, related oil seal (I think), and a gasket set. Also probably a few other things I'll discover as I go. Other than eBay, I haven't had a lot of luck finding sources for parts. Anywhere else I should check? Or anyone have a running 360 motor somewhere in the Northeast they feel like parting with?

If it's any help, I'm sure all the 360 variants used the same clutch push rod.

It wouldn't surprise me if some other model's part fit - take some measurements and post it here.
Other members can check what they have on hand and maybe come up with something.....

You can get a Vesrah gasket kit here for $40 -these are good folks, but they don't make the gaskets remember.....

I think the seal is 91203-292-005, which should be available from Honda (I think)........it's used on literally dozens of models - all 5-speed 450, all (or most) 350/360, 500F, 500T, blah, blah............

Where in the northeast are you?
(please add to your signature line along with bike specifics...)

I'm in Nashua NH but would be willing to drive around New England for a cheap running motor. On the other hand, I may be making progress in the parts department...

I just picked up a complete non-running motor today which looks promising as a donor crankcase and has an intact clutch actuator rod. If it looks good when I open it up, I might just need to order a gasket set (thanks tbpmusic) and a little time to swap everything over. I'll post some pics when I get things moving along. Thanks for the help.
