My car has been sitting for too long. It's time to get it back in driving shape.
While assessing the condition of the engine, I found that the head on the driver's side has some issues to address. Here is the hardware that was holding the intake to the head: I know, right? We have seen this before. Yes, those are threads that came out next to the threaded rod/nut combo on the left. It looks like I have to drop the engine and pull that head. Question: Can anyone recommend a good machine shop in Central Florida to fix the head put the studs back in? |

That would be the other early '70s project. It's a '72 Honda CB350F. I've had it for years, bought and installed a lot of used and NOS parts on it, got it painted, but never started it.
There's really not much left to do, just rebuild & rejet the carbs (new exhaust system installed), run new fuel lines, and get the brake parts rebuilt. After the 914 is running again, I'll turn my attention to the bike. Now the real question is, what part of DelMarVa are you from? I'm a Delaware native and spent most of my life between the Chesapeake and the Atlantic. |
