Been Around the Block
I decided to get started on a 1971 CB350 I've had sitting in my garage for a couple years. It has 7K miles on it. The right cylinder has 155psi cold. The left has none. I am pulling the motor so I can tear into it. As I'm draining the oil, this chunk of metal comes out. Anyone know what it is? The PO told me he had replaced rings and rode it but that it needed a new head gasket. I never put much stock into what I'm told by PO's so I'm not surprised that it needs more than a gasket. Identifying this piece might give me some insight into what will be needed.
