Part 5 - I got round to moving on with rebuilding the engine on the CD200. I've never honed cylinders before, so I'm kind of working it out as I go along.
@@TooManyProjects Do a you tube search - there are plenty of vids. The end gap data is supplied with the rings or pistons and will probably be in the workshop manual too. Look here for figures. www.hondatwins.net/threads/cb200-piston-rings.39480/post-310922
I liked the honing part of the job it's made me realise I need to do a better job on the cleaning and decreasing on my CB750E all the best Paul
Hey there, Nice video. Please upload the next episode quickly. I'm using your videos as a guide. Thanks mate
did you measure the weight of pistons with the rings and piston pin
I did not. Should I have? I know I should have measured the gap.
Where did you buy the new pistons? Is it std?
It was ages ago now but I think just off eBay I'm afraid. There wasn't many miles on this bike so I got standard size.
you should have gaped those rings before installing... Too small a gap and the piston will seize when it gets warm.
That was not in the manual. Now I'm worried.
