Awesome xb! Thanks so much, I was pondering how I could determine the valve to seat integrity without removing the head. Legend! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Thanks mate. I'll definitely do the clearances as a starting point and go from there. :D

Thank you! The clear explanation to back up your statements helped. Now I understand.

Thanks Farmer, I'll have to verify my readings and the new gauge also. I'm thinking I'll go through and re-set all the valve clearances on the tight valves too as they'll only get tighter.

For the sake of my sanity, because you're both making me feel like I'm going crazy. Here's a pic of what I had done. Dohcbikes I'll take a breath and hope we can engage in a civil conversation, not a debate. My cams were incorrectly installed in the positions shown when timing the engine...

Thanks for your help.

The specs I had read on a new bore were >100psi, could you share your source and spec if you know otherwise rather than just telling me I'm wrong please? I'm here to learn. When I say the cams were 180 out, I mean that instead of timing them to the crank with the cam lobes pointing towards the...

Hi Guys and Girls, Bear with me, the questions are below, but I want to share the background to help those reading picture the scenario. I'm in the final stages of my CB750 DOHC build and have come up against something that I can't get my head around. So I thought I'd throw it out there and...

Alternator, spark units and pulse generator are all now wired up. I was excited to get the fuel in and see what happened.... Alas she won't fire. The two big issues were a leaking set of O rings on the fuel delivery pipe on the carbs, so off they came and that was sorted. The second and more...

Here ya go, that's what I was talking about. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Hey J, I've searched this topic as I wanted to do the same, but never had any luck. You can always go for visual effects to change the appearance of the tank. I've seen guys paint the lower inch inline with the frame angle the same colour as the frame to kind of melt it in. Otherwise I've also...

Front brakes also now filled and bled. Was a pain in the ass trying to prime the master cylinder and ended up pre filling the hoses to save hours more of pumping the bloody lever.

Well it's been a crazy six months, I've moved out of Sydney and into the country for a new job. The new job has me training full time with varying hours so the bike has well and truly been neglected. The final push came from my wife poking fun at me saying that it would never get done. So the...

Hey Ben, No, not dead. Just sleeping. I'm getting ready for a couple of big days to get it to test-rideable stage soon so stay tuned.

Haha glad I'm not the only one!

Oh no doubt! Yesterday totalled 5 hours in the garage, 4 of which I was just staring at the bloody thing! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Oh yeah! And I've even had the hard stuff done and had the harness made for me. So it's just a game of what goes where.

Finally bit the bullet and started the wiring yesterday.

I'm also trying to source a shorter dog bone which will bring the swingarm angle down, and will also be lifting the front up approx 15mm. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
