Hi Folks,
Some input would be appreciated.
I've completely disassembled (2) CB350 engines, one from a 72 the other from a 70 in hopes of having enough serviceable parts to make one good engine.
I've started the inspection and measurement process and will be looking for professional help with a re-bore/piston selection and installation of new valves, guides etc in the head. I'm not looking for a performance boost, reliability is my biggest concern.
It seems like Bore-Tech is the "go to" place for cylinder boring and piston matching but I would like to confirm this and I'd be happy to look at recommended alternatives.
As far as the head work, I do see a couple services listed on E-bay...HAS ANYONE USED THESE GUYS??
Finally, it looks like the cam box side covers (point and speedo sides) are toast...one set is very oval-ed out and the other set has visible scratches where the cam ends ride. All I've been able to find are pricy NOS items. IS THERE A BETTER SOURCE FOR THESE RECOMMENDED BY THE FORUM?
I will be sending the engine cases to Electron Beam Engineering for vapor blasting ($100) unless there is a recommended shop from this forum.
All input is appreciated.
Thanks!
Paul
