I emailed you my longer response.
But the short answer is:

– yes, charlie place pistons will work great in your cb500t. they will yield about 9.1 compression or somewhere close to that.

– a 450 head and 500t head are about the exact same. doesn’t matter. use whichever is in the best condition.

I know it will be lower compression than if if you do some milling, but it will still be higher compression than the original pistons, right?

And why does compression matter? Will the engine run fine without any more changes?

Also.. out of curiosity, I bought a CB450 head by mistake to replace my CB500T head. Do you think it will work on the CB500T cylinder/engine?

Thanks!

Charles

If you want to CC the engine to get actual calculated comp ratios, get in touch. I’ll show you how.

When comp is up in the ranges you’re talking about things get critical fast and can be expensive to rectify. Tuned intakes and exhausts and perfect ignition are not optional at that point.

Have fun!
