I decided to start a blog for one of my other projects, my CB400F, which I got along with a parts bike from a friend about a year ago.
Below is what it looked like when I got it. Just a bare frame with an engine.
I also got a parts bike with a nearly complete engine. This one had a bent frame.
As soon as I got them home, I dug right into the engine. The top end is removable while in the frame. I actually think that you can't get the engine out until you take the top end off. (I'll have to remember that when I'm putting it back together.
Top end off, with pistons sticking out.
This is one of two oil pumps. It's only about 2mm thick, and as big as my finger. I think this one oils the top end, and the larger one oils the crank shaft.
The case is split open. From the front, you see the crank with connecting rods, the main chain from the crank to the transmission. The basket holding the clutch plates has been removed from the right side already, and the left side is the output to the final drive chain to the rear wheel.
For the last month or so, I'm been polishing and cleaning all the external engine parts and rebuilding a set of carbs I bought on eBay.
