I love taking things apart!!

Ernest, That sounds like a perfect project to keep you busy during Covid isolation. Pretty easy engine to work on because of Honda quality or design and manufacture. In order to safely handle that big, heavy lump of an engine I would suggest you have some kind of lifting device. A...

Very nice. Could you show from some different angles?

Pardon my ignorance...what is a 5200? :headscratch:

Ernest, the only reference to crank journal sizes that I can find is post #389 where I ask if anyone knows the journal sizes for 1200 crank. Don't remember ever finding sizes. Is there another reference you have found the I have forgotten about? Frustrating thing is that in the Honda Shop...

Big melt going on here. I'm only a few feet away from getting my '82 to the street for a test ride. :beg: :moped: :head bang:

Start wandering :moped:
