Oil Filter Spring
« on: January 16, 2006, 06:17:17 AM »
I'm rebuilding me CB750 F engine from a box of bits, and have come to fit the oil filter and notice from the parts book that there should be a spring.

Well I can't find one in my box of bits. Could someone post a photo or at least give me the dimensions so I know what I'm looking for.

I had two complete engines so I should have two somewhere.

I'm assuming this is the spring within the filter housing? If so, see pic below. Sorry, my parts list doesn't provide any dimensions.

There should be a light spring and a thin steel washer between the spring and filter. Both still available from Honda and dont cost a lot.

yer, thanks guys. It's really anoying when you dismantle an engine, carefully labeling and baging parts so you don't lose them - and they still magically disappear when you come to reassemble it all.

If you still haven't found it, roughly in inches it measures 7/8" long & just under 1 1/8" outside diameter.

John,
If you get the part number for the washer, can you please let me know as mine is missing?
Cheers,
Jim.

Assuming it hasn't changed over model/years, my parts list has it as;

SEAT, oil filter spring

Don't feel too bad.  This spring is a pretty common thing for PO's to have lost long before you ever got the bike, so you may not be to blame here, but then again, you may! ;D

John,
Youv'e been rebuilding that bike for so long perhaps they rusted away to dust!!  :) :)
Everyone I speak has not got a  washer on their filter, but it doesn't seem to make a difference?

I had the opposite problem when I finished getting the 550 back together last night.  There were a few pieces left over, but what the heck, as long as it still runs! ;D  If only Honda had me on the engineering team when they first started building these things, I could have saved them a ton of money by eliminating these unnecessary parts. ;)

I've encountered that a few times myself. Clear and obvious over-engineering.  ;D ;)
