- Engines are a pig. They're the heaviest single component on your bike and removing them is the most daunting task of any rebuild. In this video I show you how I removed the beast of an engine from my Honda CB750 DOHC - on my own, cheaply and with the absolute minimum of equipment.

Thank you for this! I am faced with removing the engine from my 2001 Shadow ACE 750 by myself, with limited room, limited tools, and limited funds. This couldn't have been more tailored to my current needs.
Good job! I am close to doing the same thing with the engine of a 1981 CB750F. I appreciate your video. Thank you!
Pretty cool! I just used a pillow? Laid the bike over and lifted the frame off of the engine.
I know I’m a little late to the party but I started a CB750 project and was agonizing over how to remove the engine. I just wanted to thank you for this video; it was so easy to get the engine out this way.
I appreciate your instructions as in having the same frame and engine. I might have to do this in Oct, 2022 - thanks
Thank you - excellent video. I like the way you introduced what you were doing and most importantly why you were doing it that way, i.e. cost, no lifting, no help.
Thanks Tim!
Love this video, genius idea! I own a 81' Honda CB750 Custom I'm rebuilding literally completely.. top to bottom. I wish I saw this video like 2 months ago lol.
How's the bike coming? I just picked up the same bike, looking to do a full rebuild too!
Getting there incredibly slowly! Just stripped down the gearbox to try to sort a shifting issue. Hoping the rest of the rebuild is a bit more straightforward.
¡¡¡ Absolutely brilliant !!! ¡¡¡ you made my day !!! ... I'm also proud of myself and self-sufficient: if you are not strong you need to be smart
@@naturalsIV yep! regards from Spain
This was a great video thank you. I'm getting ready to do the same on my CB 900
So nice to see you back. Great video, you are straight to the point and informative.
I may have to use your idea to remove the engine from a 1993 Honda 750 Nighthawk.
Keep up the good work 🇬🇧

Morning. That will be a video I am keen to see. I am in the planning stage, despite stripping it to a rolling chassis. I intend to make it into a cage racer style bike....when you are not a mechanic it can be a intimidating process!!
Great job. Following.
I decided to tip the bike on its side on some cushions I had and I can tell you from first hand experience, your way is 1000% a better idea! On its side you enevitablly end up having to undo bolts and take off more bits... nightmare! I wish I followed your advice!
Great Video. I've been contemplating restoring my '79 CB750 DOHC, which is under a tarp at the moment, but getting the engine out was an issue that made me less than keen to start. Seeing your videos may just inspire me to have a go. i'm very impressed by your ingenuity.
Cheers John! I can't take full credit. I've never restored a bike before so most of my techniques are adaptations of existing methods, tailored for my mechanical skills/equipment (basically zero).
@@naturalsIV what’s she lookin like now I have the same bike heard a lot about valve recession is bad on em and can’t find alot of parts here in the us are there any good parts suppliers for these 79-82 models
@@naturalsIV European company’s that ship international anything is highly appreciated
@@justinharris2808 Honestly I get a lot of parts from the US. eBay, VintageCB750.com, Common Motor, 4into1 are all good. In Europe you've got David Silver Spares and CMSNL.
Very slick thx for the video
No problems! Thanks for the positive feedback.
Life saver
Genius!
just remove everything on the frame, dan lay the frame and engine on its left side with an old cushion under it and now separate the remaining enginebolts. After that lift the frame from the engine. I did this with two different machines and i won,t say this is easy but you don,t have to lift your engine.
Yeah, works great on the smaller engines. On the larger ones you're left with a heavy engine on the floor which is much more difficult to lift to a bench.
Nice work. Is this a return to regular uploads again?
@@naturalsIV cool. Should be good to have something extra to watch in quarantine
Good video bud, nasty crack on that engine by the looks of it though
Have you got a time in the video where you can see the crack? The engine is all stripped down, I haven't found a crack yet!!!
@@naturalsIV 9:03 (right below the centreline bolt and right above the 2 bolts that secure the oil pan to the block ) looks like something tried to punch through the back (only noticed as my own bike has a hole in a similar place) th-cam.com/video/MBugbXW5Nrg/w-d-xo.html
@@johnphillip1711 thanks - I'll check it out next time I'm in the workshop.
@@naturalsIV No worries
What year is this bike? Did it come with rear disc from the factory or is that a kit? Thanks!
1982 and yes, rear disk from the factory. I think (could be wrong) the standard CB750 had rear drum, but the CB750F had the disk.
@@naturalsIV as soon as I typed out that comment I stopped being lazy and did my own research. You are correct. The F came with rear disc. Now trying to figure out a conversion for my bike. Thanks for the reply! Really looking forward to more vids
Isn't the purpose of the removable part of the chassis to enable you to take the engine out sideways using the engine trolly jack?
Yes, in theory, but it is a *very* tight fit on the 750s and it's a big old block to balance on a small trolley jack
@@naturalsIV Had no problems with mine. I have attached wooden blocks to mine so it keeps the engine level and balanced when removing it from the chassis.
Good work. whats your favourite type of Music? Can we be Friends? Xd
