I have a cb750k1 and I will be using the k1 cylinder head. My question is, what will I have to do in order to mate my cylinder head to a later set of cylinders that has the space for dowels and rubber seals between cylinder 1,2, and 3,4.
TIA

I realized that I hadn't gapped the new rings on the stuck piston. The second ring was binding everything up. The pistons then went in after a little bit of convincing with t bolt hose clamps, wooden supports and a rubber mallet
thank you all for your responses !
I got around to trying the the t-bolt hose clamp method of installing the cylinder today. The same piston got stuck in the same way. I also used wood braces to keep pistons 2 and 3 square.
Next, I will try to install the piston by itself in the cylinder then attaching it to the connecting rod.
Yeah, I'll be doing that once I get another set of rings for that piston because I don't want to chance the ring on that piston being bent.
It all started when the camshaft tower came loose... Leading to me pulling the motor and separating the cases to clean out all of the metal and inspect the...
No, stock everything. 1970 CB750 K1. I haven't tried fitting the piston separately by hand if that's what you mean. The same piston got stuck with the same rings it had originally, and that's the only one giving my trouble. The other 3 pistons are going in fine.
I am not using spring...
I have messed up my second set of rings trying to install the jugs on my motor. Both times piston #3 has gotten stuck.
I've tried installing pistons 2 and 3 first, I've tried all the pistons at the same time. It just wont make it in cylinder #3.
Any advice is appreciated
The ring on piston 3...
I broke a piston trying to get it out of the cylinder when it jammed during reassembly. If anyone has the same type of piston even if it is a different year please post or pm me. It has honda, 300, and 6 stamped on it. and looks like this
Thanks,

I haven't tried the dealer. I figured that if it is not available on any of the distributer sites (other than csml, who wants 2.50 euro and 27 euro for shipping. lol no thanks I would rather use a completely threaded stud) then it wouldn't be at the dealer, but I will call them today.
Thanks...
I am having trouble finding this stud. It is the last part I need for my build and I will be eternally grateful to whoever will sell me this little stud or guide me to a place that has it in stock
It is number 14 on this diagram:
I have already picked up a camshaft.
All I need now are it's friends, both cam towers, 4 journals, rockers, rocker pins, and studs and bolts that hold it all together.
Hopefully as a package that once ran together
Thanks
