1964 Honda Dream CA78 Rebuild-storation

Thanks, all. Yes the "customer" is very pleased! ;-) (Right hon?) We're taking the bikes out again today.

G and 48 --

The thermal cycling and hot oil maybe working in conjunction to seal that interface on their own. I haven't yet touched the head nuts. I think today, I'll add a little oil, monitor the seepage while we ride, and once it cools, I'll lower the front of the motor, and simply re-torque to 16-17 lb-ft. Then we'll go from there. I'm not so sad about the leak anymore. This forum is great therapy--much cheaper than a professional analyst! Ha!

It's a beautiful day here in Long Beach, not a cloud in the sky and 64F at 9:30 am...

Much fraternal love to you all!

We need some pictures of the happy couple and their machines!

And send some of that sunshine. We've got 70mph wind and rain. Again.... Aargh!

Thank you Ray! It was a fun and rewarding project. And to think a year ago it looked like this:

Bob, that is one beautiful machine! The white is positively stunning. Tamb loves it, I am sure! How many compliments did you get from folks when it was out and about yesterday?

Congratulations!!
