An enjoyable and relaxing watch, with a top notch result at the end. Rebuilt one of those myself forty years ago, and the head studs put up a much stiffer fight on removal than the ones on your motor did. Remember making some special lifting bars up so a pal and me could maneuver the engine back in the frame without damaging the paint, their one heavy lump..
That’s a great story! Crazy how little some things change. My friend and I did the same thing. Engine on a long metal pole and walked it through the frame. They’ve made bikes easier to work on since then, that’s for sure. And the studs weren’t too bad, but I had one almost lose the thread on install. Definitely a bit hairy, but it’s nice to know this engine is near bullet proof with studs, valve springs and rods.
Nice! One of the prettiest engines ever made. I had a '76 SS and really enjoyed it, put an 811 kit in it, some mild head work and a mild cam and it ran sweet, would pull 10K rpm easily. Long ago.
Great video I am looking these guys up! I have a 1976 cb750f that needs restoration. My local shop is booked for more then a year out. I'm sure this shop is too. I want all original but n.o.s. is ok and a few hp upgrades. 836 kit mild cam smoothbores electronic ignition. Updated battery. Hp clutch plates and chain and sprockets. Original or mint restorations go for $10,000.00
Hey there! I whole-heartedly recommend Cycle X. Ask for Ken and tell him I sent you. Many parts in this engine are from his shop, but they do full builds. I’m sure they’re busy as well, but it would be worth it. 836 kit and a mild cam sounds like a great reliable build, by the way! Best of luck.
Did you paint the cylinder head and all the fins? What type of paint did you use? Do you think I could do this to my CB350 with the engine put together still, pulled from the frame?
Brilliant job young man. Great attention to detail.

awesome! great quality, this is so cool!
Thank you so much!
Nice video, really like the finished polished look. (just one note, try not to wash the engine in the yard next time!)
Thank you! And you’re totally right. I’ve learned a lot about chemical/waste management since starting the build.

Nice
Thank you, sir!
I wish I knew how to do all this stuff. My bike would be so much happier, and he's a hard to please demon
what cc did you bore it to?
71 750E. Built mine to 836cc. 3/4 race cam.
140mph On a rigid chopper frame.
Through the Starter away. No need, easy kick.
@@CarlAyers-x8h is 836 with 3/4 cam reliable?
What kind of power did u make? I'm looking to get a cb750 but I want to see if I can swap a cbr600 engine into it or build the 750
