Hi Dean, I've owned three CB750's back in the day, grew up on them. 1 K2 and 2 K4's. Did all sorts of things with them but never pulled one apart and put it back together. I am thoroughly enjoying watching you put this mighty machine back together. Very impressed with your patient and clear approach, I feel like i could have a go - assuming I had one. BTW what we used to do with them was to strengthen the swinging arm and the top rails from the yoke back to the vertical frame bit. The frames had a lot of flex in them. One of mine even stood up mid way through a corner when I touched the front brake. A steering damper helped a lot too. We used to run dunlop k81's - they were the best grip for dollar value back then. I imagine you're doing this in your spare time so once again a BIG THANK YOU!

I'm getting tons of vicarious fun watching your engine go back together.  Very glad to notice your eyeballs are in proper working condition, too! Many, many thanks for all the hard work you are doing putting these videos together.

I'm a mechanical engineer, and I agree with you about lubing the threads before torquing.  What matters is not the resistance from applying torque, but the strain of the bolt or stud.

love the vids, and did anybody else think of Bob Ross when he was painting on liquid gasket?

Good on holding the head of the torque wrench. I have seen other tutorials doing this incorrectly. Nice video, and also the thin oil does reduce friction, but I agree that will apply more stretch on the bolts, maybe too near their max tolerance. I suggest clean and dry, if that's what the manual says.

I swear it looks like early in the video the short head studs are on the back in the wrong place but then when you put the head on they were correct. Am I seeing things? Nice video. Very helpful.

Thanks a ton for posting these videos. Doing anything with the engine can be a really daunting tasking (especially if you haven't done anything with it before). I have a DOHC 750 and although slightly different, these videos have been super helpful with understanding various components on the bike. Cheers.

One of the best videos I have seen so far showing us the process, really liked it!

Hey Hackaweek, awesome videos, I really enjoy watching them and they are very helpful for my rebuild. One thing I'm not sure about, isn't there a dowel and a seal missing on the eight studs between cylinder 1/2 and 3/4?
Cheers

Nice video! But, no assembly lube for the camshaft? I'm looking forward to the next episodes!

Awesome video
When i get to my four cyl job
I plan to drop some oil on
Cam journals
And then let the cam set in
For a softer fit
Just my thought

A few more episodes to complete the cb :) so excited to view the final result

Another great vid from hackaweek, the engine build has been great and I'm really looking forward to seeing this engine going back in the bike. Great job and great vids.

Appreciate the detailed honest videos! Looking forward to watching them all and seeing this fire off.

I'm really enjoying the work of a very talented individual!  It's great!  I'd like to make a comment on torque.  I am an A&P, but not a Honda motorcycle mechanic.  I learned early that torque specs are dry unless otherwise specified. (I don't even remember where I learned it.)  Sometimes they may be specified in front of the service manual.  I can't find it right now, but I used to have a machinist's manual that listed lube torque specs depending upon the lube used.  I am not suggesting that you've hurt anything, but I'm offering that it's entirely possible that the torque specs have been exceeded, depending upon what the manufacturer had in mind. (dry or lube torque)  Keep it coming!

Oh, right, sir! I like your enthusiasm to fix motorcycle engines 💯💯💯👌👌👌

cant wait to hear this baby run thanks

As usual, nice hand work.
Cheers, Mark

Outstanding resource for all of us, Sir. Thanks a ton

Starting to come together nicely! Good work! Can't wait to get into my CB350 engine.
