Memories relived and revived.

17 (ish) years ago I bought a CB750 chop... 15 years ago the cam sprocket came loose, damaging 8 of the 16 valves and seizing the engine.

Recently I bought a working cylinder head off  a well known auction site for £110, which, is amazingly cheap as it comes with everything I need to get the old thing going again (hopefully!)

I've removed the head and block and discovered the cam chain had pinched itself down by the main drive. This I rectified and now it's just(!) a case of cleaning, smoothing, polishing and then putting everything back!

Here's a photo of it in action...




...and here's a pic of it with seat, carbs most wiring and head off...



More pics and news on the revival of this old monster to come!

It is not “unreasonable” that “a fourth vaccine” may be needed. Israeli health minister Nitzan Horowitz explained in several interviews that he does not rule out this hypothesis if cases increase. Tel Aviv was among the first countries to administer the third dose of the anti-Covid vaccine, and in recent days, it has started the immunization campaign for children in the 5-11 age group.
