I could have sworn I responded to this but it didn't save. I went there with the compression gauge and didn't bring the right adapter for the spark plug threads. Fell in love with it and bought it...Oh well... I'm just being a baby. I knew I was getting into a project and that's exactly what I...

I'm almost wondering if it would be cheaper to try and find a donor bike to steal the cylinder block from and hope I can re use it or even just try and remove and replace the skirts so I can use factory pistons. The 823 kit with the boring service would be 700/800!

On another note, while doing some cleaning work on the valves I noticed one of the valve guides didn't have a rubber seal on it. I'm 100% certain I didn't lose it so I'm hoping they haven't been running the valve without the dang seal for the last 26k miles. Not sure if it was ever put on there.

I had an idea you could do that, but I guess I didn't take that into account when trying to find a place. With my work and school schedule I wouldn't mind just sending it to someone who's kind of considered the gold standard of engine work. Around here in Oregon it really isn't an oasis of...

Sorry, that was sarcasm which is hard to convey through the internet. All my local shops are closed, but I've been doing some Google searches to find ones with good reviews. How important is it to find a machine shop that specializes in older Japanese motorcycles? Would any reputable shop suffice?

Welp guess I'll just scrap the build then. No sense in going on from here. On that note I'll do some research and see who is in my area or who people have used in the past.

That would somewhat make sense with mine. Mine is estimated to be around the 26k mile range. The engine doesn't look neglected, but definitely needs a rebuild before I do any serious riding on it.

Out of curiosity how many miles do you have on your bike? My bike has gone through two different gauge clusters so I can't say for certain how many miles the bike has. I will get in contact with AMC and go from there! Thank you

Another update. I leak tested the valves before removing them all to give them a slight soak, all of the them passed the leak test so I'm getting a good seal there. Yanked all the valves out and put them into pinesol (that stuff has been magic for me as I've just been reusing it again and...

Count me into this as well, please!

Good to know about the t bore hole gauge. I'll need it eventually and they weren't as expensive as I thought. I'll post pictures, but my cylinder head and cylinder block are pretty grimy. Will coca cola work for that? If so I'd save a ton of money. I may try it on the pistons if it works well...

Okay...I'm finally getting back to this. I have the cylinder head yanked and the valves are pretty dang dirty, I'm setting that aside temporarily to focus on the cylinder block. The pistons were quite dirty, but not as bad as I expected. I'd like to clean the cylinder block for the most part so...

Sent you a PM

I responded to your post in my thread. I have a hinged seat for sale off my 79 cb750k

It is hinged! I don't think I have the mounting bolts for it, but it is hinged.

Good evening all, I have a few parts that I got with the bike I purchased. I have a battery box, instrument cluster, rear fender (both the plastic and the stainless steel pieces), rear drive chain guard, rear seat cowell, rear seat grab bar, rear light assembly, and both side covers. Full...

Okay so I finally got back to the bike after taking care of my dog after she was spayed. I dropped the engine which was a huge pain in the butt as I need to do an engine rebuild anyway. I pulled the valve cover off to check the clearances and my numbers were pretty bad. My gauge doesn't have a...

Welp, the gas in the tank was inspected. Smelled like regular gas and when dumped out, it was a few shades darker than what I'd consider "normal" colored gas. Looked inside a bit and didn't see any rust. May throw some nuts in there at one point, but for now I'm okay with the tank. Did the...

So I went and checked the bike out. Didn't run any tests other than hooking up the battery and checking to see how the electrical system was. All the lights turn on and and everything functions. Tried the electronic start and it works and turns the engine over. Gas tank is not installed, nor...

I plan to see it Monday evening. I have a compression tester and I'm going to see what the results are as well as check out some other stuff. I've never purchased a bike with that many miles though so I'm worried I will get way in over my head with the build. Is there a handy dandy chart with...

There's a local posting on craigslist for a 1979 Honda CB750k. The seller said he had it running for a year and then it started taking a long time to start up. Looks like he tore the carbs off and never put them back on. The bike has a little over 50k miles so it's fairly high for a bike I'd...
