So tonight i thought i’d retorque the head, check things over etc.
Head bolts all just clicked on the torque wrench, so hadnt loosened at all.
I reset the valve clearances, timing and fired him up, oil pissing out of the points cover.
So i put the cam seal back in...... and tried again !
Wow! Running like a sewing machine and pulling much harder than before
Clutch is slipping in third when the engine comes on cam, i had to put the standard springs back in as my ‘hd’ ones were shite.....
Two questions for the learned 360 folk?
1, can anyone supply me a set of genuine hd clutch springs, i’ve had no luck getting some
2, whats the procedure for dynamic timing the engine, ie at what revs and what advance am i seeking ( i have a timing strobe and know how to use it from my TR6)
Thanks for all the help so far guys, its been a fun upgrade project.
Here’s the CB390 waiting to go out for test ride......
