Re: Black Knight, Not a speck of dust.
Hey Brodie I did some looking for my tap handles. Cause they make cheap copies that look the same.
Mine are Schroder 40070, made in Germany.

they also make a smaller size/. But I lost mine years ago.

Re: Black Knight, FREE Yule log video
As per the workshop manual, I pulled the head cover and head
So Nice the head gasket came off in one clean piece. 8)
The jugs were stuck fast.
Kanticoy offered up a neat trick.
W center pistons at BDC pour an inch of alcohol and light them a blaze, as soon as it burns out. Give them a good smack.
For DOUBLE BONUS POINTS I also made a Christmas morning Yule Log video! ;D

And it worked like a charm.
The kids called and invited us out to lunch, then a visit to the Reindeer Ranch and Maze.
It was a fun time.

Re: Black Knight, The time is now
Thank goodness...this plastigauge was terrifying for me.
I had Rachel check all of them. Best eyes.
found they're all between .038-.051 so within the big end of Factory Assembly Standard .018-.048
But well within the Service limit .08

Re: Black Knight, The time is now
During the teardown I found a bunch more O-rings.
So, I went through the parts fiche and between Honda-4into1-amazon-ebay
I am confident they are ALL en route now.

May be a bit more work getting the measurements, but you can get extras and its way cheaper than buying them from part sources and fast shipping.

Thanks bud, added them to bookmarks. I just really prefer to use the OEM stuff when I can get it and afford it.
Its just a kooky personal "thing" I have.

Well, I never claimed to be a crosshatch expert. LOL.
It looks funny in the pic and may be steep but its there.
Rings gap from .229 to .254.right in the middle of assembly specs. 8)
$7 tool made for easy work.
4 of the cutest little pistons you ever did see. New rings and waiting for assembly.

Re: Black Knight, Novice Engine building
Looks good mate. You should clean up the cast marks in the ports while you have the head off.

Re: Black Knight, Novice Engine building
That's the one. Most people just clean up the ridge at the bottom of the picture. Helps with gas flow. I am by no means anywhere near knowledgeable on the topic.
I know there are minor improvements to be had by getting rid of rough spots and that super smooth is bad for intakes due to fuel pooling.
Re: Black Knight, Novice Engine building
Yup get rid of that big rough line. I did the entire thing on my 350.

Thanks for the suggestion bro!
Re: Black Knight, Race Bike!
I would match the port to the intake boot while you are that far Ino it. I would do valve seals too.
