Top End Fitment
« on: September 21, 2011, 06:20:31 PM »
I have a 73 cb750 and am wondering what top ends would bolt on my bottom end?
I believe 69-76 would bolt right on but am not sure. I am wondering because there is a very early model top
end that has been completely rebuilt and has a full new piston kit for sale in my area.
Any help would be great,
Thanks

I have a 73 cb750 myself and I am wondering the same question as I got to replace the head gasket and would like the the latter year kit as it includes the rubber do hickeys that go around the dowls.

Rubber do hickeys came in some time in the K4 model . Any combo of head / cylinder from K1- K6 will work . If you find a K0 head it will work too but you might be better off selling it as its worth more than later heads . At some point the oil jet in the head was changed from a non removable type (early ) with a single hole to a removable type . The removable type has a stem drilled with holes across it as well as a hole along its length . If small debris blocks a hole on the later type there are others to allow oil through . In the early type if the hole is blocked , no oil .
