Hey everyone! I finally got around to making an account so I could ask this question, and probably a million more later on.
BACKGROUND: I bought this motorcycle and it was completely torn a part. The valve cover and valve body was off the motor and the cylinder head was still on the motor. Since it included the gaskets for an entire rebuild, I figured "why not just replace everything while it's open."
I tried searching the forum and the rest of the internet, but to no avail. I'm in the process of rebuilding the engine of my 1980 DOHC CB750C. As always with these engines, my cylinder head studs were rusted in pretty good. the 2 nut method didn't work for extraction so it eventually escalated to vice grips and a pipe to get them out. some how i managed to not destroy the threads in the motor. The studs on the other hand.... they've seen better days. Any way, What I'm asking is what are the stud sizes I need to replace them all? I've seen several sets for the SOHC engines but none say they're for the DOHC. I know the 750F series have different studs so those won't work to my knowledge. What have you guys used and know works?
