1980 CB 750 DOHC engine Rebuild (pt 2)

So here's part 2 of the assembly, I know it's pretty long but I think I covered all the major stuff including timing. You can use the time stamp to see that part if you'd like.
Timing setup : • 1980 CB 750 DOHC engin...
Let me know if you have any questions. I lost the last bit of the footage but its just putting on the valve cover, that shouldn't be too hard.

Awesome video. I’ll be following it as soon as I have painted my case.

Awesome stuff mate, great content! if only I came across your video a week ago when I assembled my engine.

[@one.crafty_boi]

Haha, ya. Sry I couldn't be more help, ill be posting a vid on electrical for the bike this week, if yr to that stage yet.👍

[@Adm7869]

Looking forward to it bud !

I see that had some trouble putting the main cam chain on the sprocket .... how did you eventually get it to sit on ?

[@one.crafty_boi]

@@Adm7869 if I remember correctly I used the cam retainers that go on the ends to press the cam down enough to attach the sprocket, I believe I had the chain on the sprocket already, and I just bolted it back onto the cam. So i didnt have to pull the chain onto the sprocket just bolt the sprocket on. I think the key was using the retainers to press down the cam so I could get the chain on, also make sure your chain tensioners are as loose as you can get them.

Thanks for making the video I'm in the process of doing the same rebuild. On the forums they recommend installing everything into the top crankcase first and then putting the bottom on next.

[@touchpointpropertymanageme2889]

Dear Baby Jesus...thank you for the Crafty Worksss video. Being that you installed everything into the lower crankcase first....How did you ensure the primary chain oil feed nozzle stayed in place when you turned over the upper crankcase? I didn't see any contact points for it on the lower crankcase

[@one.crafty_boi]

I believe I actualy put it on the underside of the top of the crankcase since there is a place where it seats into the case, instead of just setting it on the bottom. So it sandwiches in. I just used the Lucas Assembly lube. It's very tacky it was enough to hold it in place as I dropped the top on.

[@touchpointpropertymanageme2889]

After you rebuilt the engine...how did you get it back in the frame?

[@one.crafty_boi]

The frame on these 750s actually comes apart on one side, it allows you to slide the engine in, you just have to remove the oil filter before you do it, but it will slide in with a bit of fiddling about. It is heavy though so its nearly impossible to do alone.

[@touchpointpropertymanageme2889]

@@one.crafty_boi I saw a guy strap the engine to a big barbell and then rest each end on jacks which were on top-up rollers to roll it in by himsef

[@one.crafty_boi]

@TouchPoint Property Management I saw that video too, definitely would have done something similar if I'd had the room, but the tight work area didn't really allow for anything like that, I may do something similar though when I pull the engine for frame paint.

I didn’t c any sealant go on the lower crank case lol 😂

[@one.crafty_boi]

It's hondabond and it's there, might be hard to see in the video, not even sure I got that on tape or not, lol. But I promise it's there, lol
