I need to find crankcase studs for my cb550
« on: July 05, 2008, 06:03:12 PM »
   Hi thanks for reading this,
        I have hit a brick wall in my build, I cannot find any new case studs for my cb550 engine, I have rebuilt my head, bored my cylinders .50 over to fit the nos pistons and rings. got it all ready for reassembly. but I ruined the original studs, removing them to scrape the gasket. Please any help finding nos or aftermarket. I see that cb650 head bolts are available but do they fit? being bolts instead of studs. are they tty?  ??? ???     
                                                                                                           
                                                                                                                      thanks again

Last time i tried they were still available from honda BUT i seem to remember that the parts book switches the numbers so if you order a front you get a back and vice versa, Also if you have the dimensions Jay on here will probably make you some HD ones
