    So, I just bought this 1986 Honda Rebel 450 a few weeks ago and I am already quite fond of it, but there is one problem. The problem is the engine is knocking, before taking the heads off, and when it was running, there was a knock which I could not really pinpoint. I will upload a youtube...

    So I am rebuilding a cb350 engine and am following the book step by step, just installed the chain tensioner and now my timing looks a bit off. This is wrong and I need to redo something don't I? Only problem is this doesnt look like enough to be off a tooth. Hopefully you can see the line in...

    This page specifies a cylinder surface finish of 1s to 1.5s. Does anyone know what “s” is supposed to mean or how to convert it to something an amerimut can understand?

    So i finally finished visually restoring my honda cm400e and putting on a new gas tank. I got it back together and took it for a short ride and now theres a strange sound in the engine. Whenever I try to start it makes a higher pitched clanking noise, at a moderate pace. I should have taken a...
  7. Fuel Supply and Carburation
    I've had my first bike for a few months now (72 CB350) and it came with foam pod filters from the last owner. A couple weeks ago I changed the foam back into the oem air filters and messed with the air mixture screws to get it to idle (started with the spec 3/4 to 1 turn but had to up it a bit...

    Hi all! recently put my engine back together after changing headgasket and the lower engine gasket. I also removed carbon from my pistons and grinded the valves, and changed the valve stem gaskets. so fast forward, putting the engine together goes nice, connect some fuel and on the second try...
  9. Miscellaneous Discussion
    Hi! need some advice. Doing a top engine «rebuild» if you can call it that. Upon removing soot and carbon from the top and pistons I noticed some brown/copper ish coloring on the sides. No sign of scratchs on the sides inside the cylinder barrels. Bike ran OK before dissasembly, except some...

    Hi All, I recently took apart my CB200 engine and have found that the Cam Chain Bar Tensioner has had a lot of wear and the chain appears to have eaten into the side of the head of the tensioner. Does anyone know where I might be able to buy a replacement, I can't find anywhere online at the...

    I have a 1978 Honda CB 400Tii with a Frankenstein motor that is giving me trouble. I found a '85 Cb450SC motor that I was considering buying. Before I buy, I have a few questions: Does this motor have the same bolt pattern? Will it work with my electronics? Can I fit my 21b carburetors...

  17. Mechanical Issues
    Hello All, I have a 1980 Honda CM400T and I just took the engine apart to replace all the gaskets. After reassembling the engine, I got to the last portion of tightening down the piston cover bolts. (12 & 10 in the image provided) They require a torque wrench, but I stupidly decided to tighten...

    Head gasket is leaking and the leak is accelerating to the point where I can't ignore it any more. Maybe the gasket between the cylinder and the crankcase, too. I want to replace those, and I figure if I start pulling gaskets off I gotta put all new ones in when I put it back together. I do have...

    With Covid closing everything down this summer, I decided to pull out my dad's CB360T that had been sitting in the barn for nearly 40 years. Externally, it wasn't too bad with rust in some places, but no holes. The engine appears to be in great shape internally, and also has plenty of...
