Were 400/4 F2 Crankcases originally painted?
« on: March 12, 2011, 07:24:24 am »
I have had conflicting opinions as to whether the crankcases on a British 1978 400 4 were painted or laquered.  I have the engine out and stripped and would like to get it as original looking as possible.

my Canadian cb400f..... bottom half= no paint     top half painted. Engine never out of frame (till now)

It seems most people paint both top and bottom during a restoration.
