76 CB360, Cherry Bomb at Barber's

Re: 76 CB360, before & after

since we are kinda on the subject,
would it be worth my while to polish the intake ports inside the head?
These pads might help to make quick work of that.

You wouldn't want them "polished" as in shiny, the surfaces need a texture so the fuel particles bead up to help them move with the airflow, not spread out in a streamlined coating. You can smooth any rough casting lines or points though.
 
Re: 76 CB360, before & after

You shouldn't polish intake ports, just remove the casting marks (especially on the ceilings) and you're good to go. Finish up with some sanding (I used 220 grit) and you're good to go. It's worth cleaning up the exhaust ports as well.
 
Re: 76 CB360, before & after

Thanks guys I will look into it. Once I get to the head portion. of this job.
 
Re: 76 CB360, before & after

You don't do much to intakes, they are slightly too big for motor but work well around 400cc
The exhausts are marginal though so you can open them up 1~2mm if you have cutting burrs
I 'polish' ports with 80~120 grit

Probably in my best interest to soak the clutch plates in oil before assembly ?
 
Re: 76 CB360, before & after

Definitely.
I oil them then place in a freezer bag overnight, keeps bugs and dust off

OK geesh pj...you set the bar pretty high. I only thought of that (AFTER i assembled and before I disassembled) to install the little rod stopper in the end of the shaft! I knew something was up when i pushed the rod in the sprocket side and it came out the clutch side....I says to myself, hmmm, that just doesnt seem right!?!?! LOL
 
Re: 76 CB360, before & after

How about a torque value for the clutch spring bolts (6mm) 6.5 - 8.7 ft lbs like the rest of the 6mm crankcase bolts ? I was thinking about the spring pressure affecting torque wrench setting? Im just not sure about that. :o
 
Re: 76 CB360, before & after

Yep, they don't need much more than nipped up, I use 7-9 ft/lbs
Check bolts for stretch, they have usually been overtightened at some time

Re: 76 CB360, before & after

LOL, I like that movie more and more everytime I watch it.
OK here is what I am thinkin...
a paint can opener to reach in oil filter and bend the lock washer tab.
Better idea?
 
Re: 76 CB360, before & after

For being a COMPLETE gasket kit...its pretty damned incomplete.
no
fat o-ring for oil suction tube thing,
starter,
or the oil filter cap
 
Re: 76 CB360, before & after

I got CB360 complete 'O' ring kit off e-bay, it's pretty good and the float bowl 'gaskets' fit properly
I think it was $10.99 with free shipping?
 
Re: 76 CB360, before & after

I looked at ebay and google shopping and found nothing...dang!
 
Re: 76 CB360, before & after

Hardware store (ACE, DO IT BEST), auto zone, napa, advance, maybe fastenall. All carry most of the smaller ones, at least from 2" down. Can buy assortments or the make your own kits at Harbor freight, just cut to length and glue together, trim and install. Works pretty well if you have steady hands to hold while the glue dries. They are fairly cheap on the wallet and having some around never hurts.
