cb650 engine rebuild

I just finished rebuilding my cb650 engine.

The engine leaked a shit ton of oil from the rubber o-rings around the head gasket. (Common 4cyl problem on old Hondas.)

My engine fins have always been completely covered with caked on oil, grease and dirt. If you didn’t already know, the engine fins are what cool your engine. So to say the least, my engine prolly wasn’t properly cooling itself as much as it should have been. No matter how much I cleaned it, 2 weeks later it was gross again.

In my plan to reduce overall engine temperatures, and efficiency, I’m doing a new gasket kit, having the cylinder jugs measured, and having the cylinder head pressure tested to see if everything is still within spec. Possibly installing an oil cooler.

Old Crow Camping Trip.

camping 5 Comments

Myself, Adam, and Max took a trip up to Jim Thorpe this week to see Old Crow Medicine Show play at Penn’s Peak. They played a great show and we got to the chance to do some off- the- beaten path camping on some PA State Game Lands. Max lead us on some crazy good roads on the way home as well… Good times…mick

Penn’s Peak is really on a peak. The view was awesome.

We followed this gravel road a good half mile before finding a suitable camping spot.

Sleeping on the tall grass was really comfortable.

Max setting up his tent which was wool blanket draped off the monster.

Middle of no-where camping… awesome.
