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.

So I don’t know ’bout you guys, but I’ve always been into WWII planes especially with pinup girls strewn across the wings. One of my side projects involves just that and this weekend it’s close by. These are some shots from last week up in my hometown of Reading, Pennsylvania.

The girls are signing calendars for 2011. Be sure to pick one up at the airshow this weekend.

Reading has one of the most famous roads in America’s racing history, Duryea Drive. It’s hill climb was used by international automakers in the first part of the century to test production and racing vehicles — it’s one helluva knee scaper on the 500. At the top sits the Pagoda.
