Hi All! Newbie to the moto world and first time poster.. I own an '81 cm200t and a '74 cb750K. I want to learn as much as I can and I'm definitely not opposed to jumping in there and getting my hands dirty.
I'm currently working on the 750. Everything has been disassembled, frame has been powder coated and I am starting to reassemble. Now, I'm looking at the engine wondering what to do next. When I bought her, she sounded great, no leaks, and no smoke. I want to repaint the engine and make her look real good.. I'm thinking that since I have the engine out of the frame that I should disassemble further in order to get a much cleaner outcome.
So, while I was getting a new title I learned that I actually don't know the mileage on the engine since the current odometer reading was lower than the recorded mileage on the previous title... and since I'm trying to do such a big rebuild, I figure that I should tear her down, inspect as much as I can, and replace anything that needs replacing. However, let's keep in mind that money doesn't grow on trees and even if I crack her open I won't really know what I'm looking for. Yes, I have a manual and I've done a lot of research (and will continue to do so), but I want to know if I should make more trouble for myself. Any and all advise is GREATLY appreciated. Thanks!!
