I've recently bought two CB550s..both have been in storage for a long time. One since 1991, the other since 1989. This video series will provide as a guide for me before hooking up a battery and turning the key on both of them..thanks!
Another reason for greasing gaskets, side cases especially, is that it helps keep the gasket on the inner face in place so no less chance of it shifting and getting nipped. I always do that. I think the one on my cb250rs is on its fourth go. You didn't have those in the states, lovely bikes though, basically an XL250s engine in a road frame.
I understand the reason for doing the top end first but wouldn’t the oil wells in the head empty when you rolled the motor forward to drop the oil pan?
Why did you decide to go dry with the left side altenator/ Gen cover? Was there a reason or were you short on time and it didn’t really matter one way or the other?
My opinion B4 u stick the engine back in Next time do a compression test to see The health and this way you know what Is next A tear down or temporary ride BcZ #4 cylinder might be weak

Very informative ,and clearly explained 👍
how did you know that my 550 engine was on my bench too ?? must be clairvoyant. thanks for the video .
Why no compression check?
That debris in the oil pan is from the cam chain tensioner. Seen it a lot. Common for Honda 4's
Meaning it is probably time to replace the cam chain tensioner?

Correct
Thats smart

I use chapstick original on gaskets so they remove without tearing it does amazing!
Great tip. Not as messy as grease, which allows works.
