1967 Honda CB77 Super Hawk - Restoration - Part 12

In this installment of the 1967 Honda CB77 Super Hawk restoration series I attempt to resolve the oil leak that we discovered in Part 11 coming from under the cylinder head on the right side. I was hoping for a quick fix like a missing o-ring but in true vintage motorcycle fashion, the fix was anything but simple.
Special thanks to Steve (66Sprint) from the HondaTwins.net forum for taking the time to guide me through cylinder sleeve removal process.
Thanks for watching!

Great job in unfortunate conditions... On my CB77, I also had to pull the engine open a second time due to a faulty piston but I didn't need to touch the camshafts to lift the cylinder head .

In the spring of 1969 I was a senior in high school. I completely rebuilt a 305 super hawk engine with only the tools in the toolkit,a few metric sockets borrowed a ring compressor, etc. Great

These videos are fantastic, love how you explain what you're doing and why.

So happy I came across your video, very informative and well done. I too have a 66 Super hawk 305 with issues. Hopefully you will be able to help me figure them out, also finding parts. Again a great video.

Yours looks immensely better than mine. Mine sat since the 70s and I'm trying to restore it but I can't seem to find a gas tank for it.

First off awesome work on this Cb77. I’m collecting parts and will be doing mine this year. Where do you get your new parts from? Most sites I look thru don’t have most pieces anymore. Thanks and keep up the good work and video.

Mmmm..fresh-baked engine parts, my favorite, especially with a nice cold glass of milk!! Great solution getting the top of those sleeves "decked" flush w the surface of the cylinder jugs - I'm taking notes for re-doing my bench/workspace by the way. May I ask who did you send your parts to for re-zincing?

Back in the day in motorcycle magazines they used to sell a Big Bore kit with new pistons and sleeves, perhaps you have one of these kits I think it increased the displacement to 350 cc . The same company made a hot cam for it too . I am guessing the company name was Powrol ,? Powroll ?

Michael,

Do you know how to find a modern headlight that suits the standard headlight bucket?

[@jasonwight7726]

Hi Michael, where did you source the gasket kit from? I’ve never seen the copper color gaskets before. Thanks
