Hello All,
I am in the process of rebuilding a 1965 CB160 and I've run into a snag. I ordered a set of CL175 off ebay: Herehttps://www.ebay.com/itm/68-73-HONDA-CL175-STANDARD-PISTONS-SET-2PISTONS-INCLUDE-10-CB175PS/142127376067?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649
I also bored the cylinders based on these pistons. Bottom line, these pistons have too large of a crown and won't fit into the cylinder head. I realize i'm in a bit of a pickle here already so i'd like to ask for your thoughts on the best options.
1. Does anyone know of a 52MM Piston Kit that has the correct dimensions off other vintage hondas?
2. Is there another cylinder head that would be a direct bolt-on that would open up a slew of other challenges? This option is much less desirable in my opinion but should probably be an option.
Thanks in advance
