piston clearance for a 836 kit rebore
« on: August 12, 2016, 02:34:02 AM »
I'm a proud owner of a CB 750 K2 since new. I'm having my barrels bored out to fit an 836 kit. ie 65mm pistons. The machinist want to no what piston clearance is needed. ie 1 thou, 1.5 thou or 2 thou. So all you experts out there post your replies. It could be an interesting topic

thanks Alex

Shouldn't be an issue. What's he up to that he needs to know. No problem with a standard over bore.
As of today 3/13/2012 my original owner 75 CB750F has made it through 3 wives, er EX-wives. Free at last.  ;-)
