Mill the top of block, it's almost impossible to mill the base.
The cylinders are the block, the crankcase is where cylinders fit
Gaskets, you have to wait until you have pistons on rods, fit cylinder, take it to TDC and measure how high piston sticks out of cylinder
I don't like to go too thin with base gaskets, probably 1/32" minimum then a 0.030"~0.040" head gasket (although thicker is 'better')
Honda gaskets usually give around 0.080" total so milling 0.020 and using thinner gaskets has effect of milling about 0.040"~0.050"
you elongate the bolt holes in cam sprocket, I think I have pics in my 360 thread (somewhere ;) )
I don't know what the front pipes are, look opposite to a MAC system exit left instead of right
Too low for me so I only used them on bike I was running on dyno to get fuel-air ratio readings for carb modifications (hence, 'dyno bike' :eek: )
Dyno charts are also in build thread somewhere, with fuel/air ratio's (120 main jets are way too rich, even without filters and with open exhaust) It's a 3 or 4" truck exhaust tip with very slight absorption, but, main reason I fitted it, it's 'perfect' length for a 12,000rpm motor
bdn3d is still learning how to go round corners so it isn't a problem for him ;D
 
Re: Stone's CB360

Re: Stone's CB360

Re: Stone's CB360

Stone... you have pics of your valve springs installed yet? I've got mine in place and the stem definitely sticks up over the top more than it did with stock springs... I'm wondering if this is normal?

Here's mine is it currently sits:

And here's how it used to look with the stock components:

I think you are missing the valve seals/seats...little brass pieces that slip in to little collars on the head that hold the base of the valve spring. You shouldn't have been able to put the retainers in with out compressing the springs.
 
Re: Stone's CB360

Those springs were compressed and they are very stiff. They're aftermarket.
 
Re: Stone's CB360

You need stems sticking up further when you use high lift cam or the rocker arms will contact edge of spring retainer.
Bad things happen if it cocks retainer and collet falls out
 
Re: Stone's CB360

I have not yet reasembled the head but I have aftermarket valves as well
