'80 CB 650 Custom engine rebuild, dead ahead.
« on: June 16, 2011, 07:19:39 PM »
I am going to have to dig into my engine to replace the rings and possibly the valves.  I will need a gasket kit and probably a lot of other things.  If everyone who sees this would contribute a website or link or something of worth I would appreciate it immensely!!  I need to know of good places to get all this stuff at a reasonable price.  Talk me to death!!!   8)

biggest thing on the 650 when reinstalling the cam chain tensioner is to get the bottom of it properly installed. check out my amatuer pics

Yes that is very easy to miss. You listen on u tube to the 650's and half seem like this was missed.  I just redid one a "mechanic" had in wrong.
