Cylinder and piston swap, 1974 to 1976 CB550K
« on: November 15, 2005, 08:26:53 PM »
I have a 1976 CB550K with very low compression on cylinder #1.

Have a chance to pick up  a very nice looking cylinder and pistons from a 1974 CB550, not sure which model.  Are there any problems swapping the 1974 cylinder and pistons into my 1976?

Thanks for any advice.

All the 550 engines are identical barring normal manufacturing mods which dont come into it if you fit complete units like you want to
