Engine Top-End Last Minute Questions

Ready to reassemble but the Clymer manual has me second guessing a few things:

Page 72 warns "be sure to discard O-rings and replace them with the new ones, or oil leakage will be sure to occur."
The figure depicts a o-ring around a dowel on the rear corner engine cylinder stud which channels oil. The gasket kit did not supply two and I don't remember removing them (CB350).

I don't remember if the CB350 has valve guide seals. There were none in my kit (there are in my CB360 kit). The valve guides have no channel to snap them. Shoud I install them?

Last question. The Clymer manual states to "Coat the cylinder base with gasket cement, and install a new gasket. I pre-coated the base gasket with copper sealent with the rest. I would think that would suffice. I have Yamabond if needed.


Thanks for the support. Did I tell you it's 5 am?

I read here enough times that Clymer manuals sometimes have their own version of reality that I would hate to trust my engine to a rebuild based upon one. Do you have access to the FSM for your model? If not, perhaps someone here would be willing to share their... knowledge.

Regards,

Others will be along with answers to your assembly questions but in the mean time, I'm sending you a PM about the factory service manual. You might benefit from a more reliable source of information.:wink:

Edit: Drat! Usually it's Jim that beats me to the trigger!:lol:
