Hello folks! A small update, the initial blasting did not produce the desired results, the finish was more of a sandblasted VS the "newly casted" looks I am going for. I reached out to the Tacoma Company and the direction I got was that glass beads from Harbor Freight is not actually glass...

Hello folks, After rebuilding my 1980 CB750C I decided I wanted to tear it down and do a full restoration including getting the frame powder coated and cleaning the carbs and engine block to a "factory new" look. After about 30 minutes of cleaning and polishing the cam shaft cover I decided that...

Hello folks, I recently did a top rebuild of my engine and for reasons I would not like to get into, the cam chain tensioner guide was not installed. Do I have to pull the head off to install it or is there a possibility to avoid that? I have attached a picture of the part if I am using the...
