[Cwilkins]

I thought about you the other day. With no news being reported, I figured something was on backorder.

Got my machine back together finally. Word of advice order parts as soon as possible they will take awhile to get to you. 2nd you will definitely need a service manual. Study the manual before taking apart. Pay attention when timing the cam the book gets a little confusing.

Thank you for the pics and advise. I have the exact same issue as yours and was hoping to get the oil pan off in the chassis.

Drop the skid plate and you will be able to drop oil pan and shine a light and see how bad your rod is. Then turn engine over so that your counter weight rolls down to the bottom mine had 2 little shiny spots where the piston was hitting it but not bad enough to feel.

Glad you got it back together. Are there any aftermarket cams for these engines? How do the ports look on the heads?

The head looks pretty good for port size and air flow, if had mine off I would take the valves out and clean up the casting imperfection and polish it but didn't think it look like it was worth the effort to take the head off with out a reason.

I was still wondering about the African Twin cam?

Ok guys I am new to the forum hope this is in the right spot. I have a p1k that has taken in water going though a shallow puddle if water at a high speed. So I drained the oil pulled plugs and started it up and had a knock so I took it in to Honda they didn't even touch it and said that Honda would not cover it and that it would be $7,000 to $10,000 to fix. So obviously I wasn't paying that so I took it home and started to pull it apart I found that the 1 rod is bent and the piston is just barley hitting the counter weight on the crank. I am going to replace both rods both pistons rings and head bolts and out it back together.

Saw a guy not long ago that swamped his. Ran it without checking the rod after changing fluids and the rod broke and went through the block. So $150 fix turned into over $1000.

The oil pan comes off pretty easy to check.

Buddy of mine has a cbr1100 Blackbird that spit a Falicon rod out at Huntsville. We never did find it. Somewhere in the weeds alongside return road is my guess. Probably still there lmao

Did you have to replace block?
