Thank you for this! I am faced with removing the engine from my 2001 Shadow ACE 750 by myself, with limited room, limited tools, and limited funds. This couldn't have been more tailored to my current needs.
I know I’m a little late to the party but I started a CB750 project and was agonizing over how to remove the engine. I just wanted to thank you for this video; it was so easy to get the engine out this way.
I decided to tip the bike on its side on some cushions I had and I can tell you from first hand experience, your way is 1000% a better idea! On its side you enevitablly end up having to undo bolts and take off more bits... nightmare! I wish I followed your advice!
Great Video. I've been contemplating restoring my '79 CB750 DOHC, which is under a tarp at the moment, but getting the engine out was an issue that made me less than keen to start. Seeing your videos may just inspire me to have a go. i'm very impressed by your ingenuity.
Cheers John! I can't take full credit. I've never restored a bike before so most of my techniques are adaptations of existing methods, tailored for my mechanical skills/equipment (basically zero).
@@naturalsIV what’s she lookin like now I have the same bike heard a lot about valve recession is bad on em and can’t find alot of parts here in the us are there any good parts suppliers for these 79-82 models
@@justinharris2808 Honestly I get a lot of parts from the US. eBay, VintageCB750.com, Common Motor, 4into1 are all good. In Europe you've got David Silver Spares and CMSNL.
So nice to see you back. Great video, you are straight to the point and informative. I may have to use your idea to remove the engine from a 1993 Honda 750 Nighthawk. Keep up the good work 🇬🇧
The Letterbox Workshop Morning. That will be a video I am keen to see. I am in the planning stage, despite stripping it to a rolling chassis. I intend to make it into a cage racer style bike....when you are not a mechanic it can be a intimidating process!!
just remove everything on the frame, dan lay the frame and engine on its left side with an old cushion under it and now separate the remaining enginebolts. After that lift the frame from the engine. I did this with two different machines and i won,t say this is easy but you don,t have to lift your engine.
Yeah, works great on the smaller engines. On the larger ones you're left with a heavy engine on the floor which is much more difficult to lift to a bench.
@@naturalsIV 9:03 (right below the centreline bolt and right above the 2 bolts that secure the oil pan to the block ) looks like something tried to punch through the back (only noticed as my own bike has a hole in a similar place) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-MBugbXW5Nrg.html
@@naturalsIV as soon as I typed out that comment I stopped being lazy and did my own research. You are correct. The F came with rear disc. Now trying to figure out a conversion for my bike. Thanks for the reply! Really looking forward to more vids
Love this video, genius idea! I own a 81' Honda CB750 Custom I'm rebuilding literally completely.. top to bottom. I wish I saw this video like 2 months ago lol.
Getting there incredibly slowly! Just stripped down the gearbox to try to sort a shifting issue. Hoping the rest of the rebuild is a bit more straightforward.
Thank you - excellent video. I like the way you introduced what you were doing and most importantly why you were doing it that way, i.e. cost, no lifting, no help.
@@naturalsIV Had no problems with mine. I have attached wooden blocks to mine so it keeps the engine level and balanced when removing it from the chassis.
