Topic: CB350G engine rebuild - O-Ring questions

[petersan]

Tried searching the forum and reading engine rebuild threads to answer this question.

I'm putting an engine back together after replacing a shredded cam tensioner and cam chain. When I pulled the engine apart, I noticed that a crushed O-Ring dropped out (I think when I removed the head from cyl), but I'm not sure where this would have gone. The parts fiche that I've looked at doesn't seem to show any O-Rings in the engine aside from the ones at the bottom of the cyl. I have a gasket kit, but it doesn't seem to have any small O-Rings.

Can anyone confirm that there should OR should not be O-Rings as I assemble the engine - and if needed, provide size or diagram showing placement?

Thanks!

Hi Petersan,
         I think it's possible that the o-ring may have come from one of the rocker arm/ valve adjustment shafts.There are 4 of those shafts;when the cam tower's are installed along w/ the camshaft, there needs to be an o-ring underneath the washer and locknut for each shaft.
