Engine nube - need CB350 help

Both valves with be open ever so slightly at TDC between the exhaust stroke and the intake stroke. This is what is referred to as "valve overlap." If a valve is open any more than a few thousandths of an inch at TDC, your cam timing is wrong. You have to jump teeth on the sprocket to get it right.
 
one other thing.. is the L mark and horizontal line on the cam sprocket supposed to face the points or tach side? i would think it should face the points side but the picture in my manual shows it facing the tach side.

thanks again yall
 
cool. that helps. but if i jump teeth that means the stator will need to rotate and i wont be following the manual's instructions (the stator wnt be at "LT" when the sprocket's marker line is horizontal).
 
I don't know what manual you have. I have the Honda manual, and it has the horizontal marks on the cam sprocket facing toward the points. Not sure it would make a difference.

Remember, that the ratio of crankshaft to cam is 2:1, therefore, rotate the crankshaft another 360°, and try again.
 
tried going another 360 but the camshaft still stays in the orientation that fuly engages the exhaust valve. the only thing i can think is that i swapped my 73 camshaft fro one from a 72 cb350g. i havent found anything to say that they are different. but i have read of a 1968 "fat camshaft." any thoughts here? unfortunately i dont have my 73 camshaft in this town. and i am getting pretty bummed out!

i have the honda manual. on page 20 there is a drawing that depicts the L line on the tach side.

thanks
 
interesting. i have two versions of the shop manual and page 44 in both of them doesnt talk about the timing at all. one is on the lubrication system and one is about the rotor.

stuck
 
figured it out. im pretty sure the sprocket is backwards which threw me off. im going to pull the engine again to locktite the bolts which i never did and replace the seals. uggh, this sucks.

2 whats the manual say? probably no.

3 read the manual... lessen the chance of something going wrong.

4 360 manual, refers to a sealing agent...Hondabond.

5 the manual will have you check things for wear specs as you go.

6 manual

7 do they use a tool in the manual? probably yes...does the manual give shortcuts, probably no.

There is so much win in this post I don't know where to start. I am curious though, how did the casings do in the wash? No way in hell my wife would let me do this....but what she doesn't know... ;)
 
I guess those CB360 parts in the Dishwasher must have turned out nice;what type of detergent did you(um) use ? :o
