Its not an SOHC (single overhead cam) which is what this forum is about. CB750 SOHCs end in 1978. However, someone here may still be able to help.

I think you'll want to go to a DOHC (dual overhead cam) forum ultimately though.

Posting some photos would be helpful.

And hope the recall oil path mod has been done or it will blow the sprocket seal out
