shell rotella is also a great oil and as his banner notes its not synthetic the small cc hondas that rev to the moon were never designed to go past 10000 miles they were engineered to be replaced but yes they can be repaired bobistheoilguy.com is a great place to learn about oils

Redline and motul are some of the better off the shelf ones. Motul is a true synthetic ester oil. Redline is also very good but not a true synthetic. I use zddp additive in all the 175 motors. I use brad penn oil in my Vw bug with zddp as well. My personal 175 has redline and zddp. Zddp is the...

Well I'm glad it looks as though it's been sorted. It's a major problem in our hobby of companies trying to reproduce parts and not knowing their head from their feet. It unfortunately takes a person to order the parts to find out they don't work for the rest of our community to learn. The 1st...

The cb/cl/sl/cd all use the same piston sleeve and cylinders. The head on the cd is different but only in the fact that it uses 1 carb not 2. Some have different cam journal blocks but that's not what we are dealing with. The mating surfaces are identical. It's not out of the realm of...

I have worked on a couple of these motors that customers have installed the wrong size o-rings on the upper oil drain dowels. That will cause the head to not torque flat hence the oil leak. If you can measure the squeeze ring on the head gasket see if the front (exhaust side) is smaller than the...

The rings I have in a red Honda ring box have an r and an r1. R1 being top of you are saying you have 2 rings with "in" then those would be top if the others have no markings. If all 4 have "in" then they were packaged wrong. All rings have ID markings that denote direction and order.

I think I have a similar set in the shop. Will check when I get him but I think one of the rings has a faint 1 or t on it. When I get to the shop tonight I'll looks and double check. The mark is very faint though

Done many 175 builds. If they are the NOS Honda rings it to hard to tell by the naked eye but they are different. They are marked right by the ring gap. One will have 1 marking (ie a dot)the other will have 2 markings (ie a dot and a T). The one with 2 markings is top the other is second ring...

That will be fine for what you want to do. Since you got the welder from your dad,make sure spend the money on a quality auto darkening helmet. (miller Lincoln Hobart) like stated above the videos are good but a lot of hands on practice will teach you a lot. Don't be afraid to see what the dials...

Flea-bay. Buy good quality ie motion pro. I've broken crappy hf ones.

Re: For sale- pair of angled POD filters small bike cb200, etc all over this one. check you pm

it looks like a honda ct70 or trail 70 in drag race trim. definitly cool. id run it down the track.

yes and no. if the valves are poorly seating or burnt it will run horribly. not just at idle but all over the rpm range. if your valve clerance is off that bad,as in make it run bad, you normally hear ticking in the top end. if it wont idle but runs if your in higher rpm i would check your idle...

+1 to teazer. i bought an extra cover from ebay and cut the the top corner off it. oil stays in and you can run it. thats my suggestion. maybe someone has a better one but thats how i did it.

was the advance weights plate removed?
