CB750 SOHC crankshaft journals chart
« on: June 04, 2025, 02:35:19 PM »
Hi,

I'd like to understand the numbers on the CB750 SOHC crankshaft journals chart (attached)

For example, the first row shows a clearance of 20-41 microns, "A" crankcase 39.000mm, "A" crankshaft 36.000mm, "Yellow" shells 1.4990mm

When I try to do the maths I get 39.000 - 36.000 - 1.4990 - 1.4990 = 0.002mm = 2 microns ?

What am I doing wrong please?

Thanks,

Nick
