Found one head bolt stripped out while cleaning the threaded holes in the block and the threads on the bolts. Removed the cylinders from the pistons and completed my Heli-coil installation. Cylinders are smooth with no ridge. What should I do to the cylinders before reinstalling, honing, crosshatchi...

I love you long time GI, LOL, thanks for the O-ring source, you make me vedy happy.

My 80' std. is showing 26,000 on the odometer, but the PO changed it out. Based on the amount of carbon on the valves and pistons I would estimate less than that. So far, since I've owned it has been trailered only. Went to the steelership yesterday and they had the isolator boots and the cam bearin...

They are so sneaky that Texas Department of Public Safety will set up phony construction sites and put state troopers in blue jeans, hard hats, refective vest and have them looking thru a laser radar mounted on a tripod like a surveyor.

These might improve the time interval of the dreaded leak at the cam bearing oil galley between the cylinder and the head. I've E-mailed davidsilverspares.com, no response. Thanks a bunch to all of...

The PO said he took the head off with good intentions of replacing the head gasket. Same old story "just never got around to it, and the purchase price of $340.00 with a new head gasket sealed the deal. I've had quiet a few Honda's over the years so it didn't take much influence me to buy it. C...

Thank ya bukoo for dave silver, I'll send him an E-mail straight away. Keep the shiny side up!

Another newbie here, trying to get set to reassemble the top end behind someone else's dissasembly. Seen a couple of posts pertaining to the problematic O-rings in the recess of the cylinder. Has anything developed on the availability of the custom made support rings? Can anyone give me a source for...
