I have FOUND MY GASKETS!!! :D Points base gasket (PT#- 30392-283-000) = $1.50 Cylinder head cover gaskets (PT#- 12394-283-000) = $4.00 I hope this is the last thing before she breathes.

Sure! Thanks. :D

Correct, if torqued down to spec cam shaft binds, if loosened half a turn or so they spin, but it's probably not a good idea to ride around with those covers not torqued. D: lol and I read through that honda twins post a couple of times. As well as this one...

I was told that that is not the problem. -_-'

Sorry I typed that last post I guess at the same time you did. But okay I will look and check and let you know of what is happening there as soon as I can. Sorry the bike is at a friends' garage so I can't immediately do that. But after doing this what would be the next step?

by cam shaft journals, I mean the points base, meter gear box, and other 2 similar coverings... not the A and B covers for valve and tappet adjustment

The cam shaft journals, yes. I'm sorry I don't know what 'lash eccentrics backed off' means. :-[

Hi all! Ok so I am so terribly sorry for not having posted in forever. Hope I don't get in trouble or something. D: Ok so as in one of the previous posts, I was asked what might have caused the cam follower to break, well the left side exhaust valve was bent beyond spec, and has since been...

Lol. Ya its messed up. Lol but ya it looks like everything else is okay

I found a set on ebay that came off of a '73 CB500, did it have the same rockers as the 500T?

Hi all! Looking to buy some rocker/cam followers for my cb450. The one on my left side exhaust broke. D: any help would be awesome and greatly appreciated. :D -Buddy

As tempting as 'cheating' sounds... id like to do it right... even though tearing down and going from there is what I will end up doing. If I were to take to a shop, what kind of price might I be looking at? $200? $300? More? :( Ya a set of engine gaskets is a given. Good thing is those...

As it sits now in my patio...

Oh and remember im still getting my feet wet in all of this so... im not exactly sure what a 'proper top end job' consists of... :-[ As far as the cam timing... does that mean just to make sure no teeth are skipped when moving the chain? And when removing the cam are you talking about pulling...

@ flugtechnik: I figured it wouldn't be easy... and I noticed the fact that wherever I've seen the rockers for sale it says to send in a core. As far as why itbroke... dad and I both considered this question, without really answering it... although since it doesn't 'look' like the valves...

WOW!!! And that's because I searched thoroughly (so I thought -_-) for that! Lol well I suppose when you search for something its always in the last place you look. Lol Thanks very much. You don't even know. I will be spending every free moment reading. Ha

Noticed that the valves don't seem to have opened since rocker broke... which would make sense because you need the rocker to move the valve. That means no little metal pieces should have left the cam housing area... hopefully.

Its only spoiled if you're not laughing. :D. And wouldnt my bikehave to be running to qualify for BIKE of the month? Lol although that's real cool you think so thanks!

Ohh noooo lol I had to ask...

Oh and, what is BOTM? lol
