cylinder
I heard that some motorcycle cylinders are made or coated with something ( Nickel maybe) I can’t remember what. To the point, it can not be honed normally. Would my cylinders have this stuff on them, or be made of it? Bike in question CB450 K5. On a side note, can anyone help me find standard rings for the CB450 pistons?

I was just busy working on stuff. I came here to get ideas not argue, so bla bla bla. I did find the rings guys for $21.95 for both pistons. check out the site "http://rustyriders.net/index.html" they have some good stuff. Gonna post a new thread. Need a cam measure.

cam
I was checking the cam last night, and I don't know if my manual is correct on the values it gave. Would anybody know the values of the cam lift for the exhaust and intake. They should be the same value according to the book I bought. And yes I could find the values if I looked hard enough, but I thought somebody might know off hand. My manual gave 0.899". Thanks

Your manual is wrong. I did that job last week and the lift for the exhaust is .935. The lift for the intake is .931.
No it isn't. It's 42.Your manual is wrong. I did that job last week and the lift for the exhaust is .935. The lift for the intake is .931.
It was 43 Ken. He had a rare model year.No it isn't. It's 42.
You should never run more than .288 lift and 38* duration for the intake and .332. lift and 48* duration for the exhaust on that engine with the stock pistons and lifters, with duration being the key. it's an interference engine so anything longer than that and the valves will hit the pistons at TDC

What kind of bike was it again?It was 43 Ken. He had a rare model year.

I think the correct one is 0.935" and 0.931". I'll have to check it tonight.

How far out of range would a cam have to be, to cause problems? Say around 0.017"
