1977 CB400F Camshaft
« on: October 16, 2014, 02:44:28 PM »
Hi,

Need some help. Bought a late 77 CB400F which had an engine rebuild. However, the numpty who carried out the work must have got the head sandblasted but hadn't got all the sand out and it has wrecked the cam/head/rocker cover.

Can anyone point me in the right direction of a good 2nd hand camshaft.

Ta

Casting ID only means nothing mate. Have you got a replacement head and cover?
