Well the problem has been found. A friend came over and showed me the leak down test and it was determined that all 4 intake valves are bent and stuck open. This was confirmed after taking the head off. I believe when I was putting the rocker cover back on, one of the million times, I didn't...

When I take a plug out and use the electric start I can feel my the suction on my finger and when I manually turn the motor using a wrench I can hear the intake through the carbs. It's just with either gauge I have from multiple tester sets the needle never goes any higher than zero.

Ok well that's good to know because I've been confused about some things I've read. Specifically about the cam sprocket needing to be on a certain way or it could be 180 out. I took pictures before hand so I knew what it should look like after I put it back together. Which is why I'm so...

Thanks.. yeah.. I tried that to see if it was stuck or made any difference in the readings if I tried pressing it a few times. It's free moving. Since there's no gas on the plugs I'm concerned I jacked up the valves or the timing somehow and that's the reason I have no compression.. I assume...

Ok thanks. Just tried. No difference. Still Zero reading and no gas on any of the plugs at all. When I roll on the throttle it sounds like the carbs are closing as it goes from a sucking sound to just quiet. This sounds like the cam timing could be off but, I'm not an engine guy, and I don't...

I do have one yeah. It's what I used previously to test the compression back when I was first building this just to see where things were at. I have all 4 plugs pulled and the throttle wide open and the reading stays at 0 the whole time.

Hey all, I recently decided to replace the head gasket on my CB550F Cafe Racer. Given I was just going to replace the rocker cover gasket due to an oil leak I don't know what possessed me to continue down a bit further and get myself in trouble apparently. Now that everything is back...

Clean.. so clean.. You have a great eye for detail and style. Can't wait to see more.. skills....

If you buy more than one dvd you get a discount on all the movies in your cart but its still a bit pricey. I had 4 movies in my cart and it was damn near $100. So I'm staring at that wondering if I want to spend $100 on these movies, or on some new clip ons for the bike.. :) I guess that's...

I've done some searching and was surprised to find there were no results for "Cafe Society DVD" etc on here. Has anyone watched this movie? I've bought some videos from http://www.choppertown.com and they have this one for sale.. Just curious what folks think about it. Same goes for their...

Great quality work right there! If you don't mind me asking where'd you pick up your exhaust parts? Mainly the collector cause I might need one soon for a projects. Thanks!

I always pull the plug out and put it back in the wire and hold it to the engine to ground while trying to electric start. May sound like a dumb question but is the kill switch in the RUN position? I was fooling around with mine one night and I wasn't getting spark because it was in the OFF...

I believe that's the Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Morrison, CO or just "Red Rocks Park". Killer venue for concerts. http://www.redrocksonline.com Great looking bike!
