Not new but it's been a REALLY long time :)
« on: September 18, 2019, 10:57:17 PM »
Hi folks. I'm a long-time member but it's been a really, really long time since I've posted on this forum. I have a 1978 CB550. Currently putting sides of the engine and the top end back together. Looking for some support and guidance while I blindly walk through this process, which I've really only done once about 10 years ago  ;D

Welcome back...do not forget the rubber band trick on the rocker arms/cover to prevent bending a valve on reassembly of the cam/rocker cover

Thanks for the warm welcome folks. And RAF, I thank you for the reminder about the rubber band trick. It's a great one!

Welcome back from a fellow '78 CB550K owner. I didn't do any engine rebuild work (yet) but I'm happy to help on other stuff.
