Due to mechanics here in Nicaragua know nothing about a cb Honda 750, I had to become the mechanic of my own bike. Thank you HACKAWEEK......

I just want to say how much I enjoy these videos. Over the past few months I've watched all of them in this series (mostly in front of the fireplace with my two dogs) and I'm so stoked to see what happens next. I don't even own a television but I find myself glued to my laptop absorbing this knowledge you're posting. I have an '85 Nighthawk 650 that I'd like to rebuild and I find your videos to be so incredibly helpful and motivational. Thank you so much for sharing.

Don't know why the subscription episodes from the previous several weeks did not show up but it turned out to be a great day to binge on the CB750 rebuild. Makes me miss mine more and more, damnit. Heheheh - great presentation and thanks so much for posting. Really admire your talent. ~ S ~

i have watched all these cb videos and all the saber vids to , it's sometimes hard to wait to see the next stage but at the same time i love how you show every little thing . keep em coming , you should have a much bigger list of viewers .

Let's make a drinking game - everytime Dino says "snug" let's have a drink. Probably all in AA-Meetings by next week. :D

Tip on the sump ( or any other big gasket) is to make some screw on headless studs out of a fully threaded bolt with the head cut off and a screwdriver slot cut in the top. Put in a few of the holes and then place gasket on it, then you can have the cover slide on straight without the gasket either tearing or slipping. Put a few bolts in then simply unscrew the studs to fit those bolts. I used it a lot on Ford engines where you have a 4 piece sump gasket, to hold the 4 joins from slipping. Never had a leak after doing that from a gasket that was misaligned. As well with rubber/cork gaskets do not over tighten them, it will leak.

I have always loved electronics but when it comes to anything cars I am at a loss for interest. Watching this series of your restoration is slowly making me rethink automotive as an interest. Great video!

Thanks for showing us how to take care of our pumps. Owner of a '76 cb750 super sport.

Hi Dean, really enjoying your vids! Just a point on the orientation of the rotors - you'll notice they have a little punch mark or dimple on one side, which should always face outwards. It's important to re-assemble with the face that has the punch mark facing the correct way on all the rotors.

I have watched all your Sabre videos and now the CB videos. You do a great job - very watchable. Keep up the good work!

Great video, Dean! I've been following this rebuild closely, as I am working on my own rebuild (750 K4). Regarding leak stopper valve: My understanding is the leak stopper valve engages when the engine isn't running in order to prevent the oil tank from draining down through the pump into the bottom of the crankcase. When the engine is running, the oil pressure created by the pump is sufficient to open the valve, allowing for the flow of oil throughout the engine.

good show

I have no interest in motorcycles or engines but I love these videos.

another great vid Dino. Phew lucky strike with the cracked plug...............would have been disaster time if that went during the engine run.............would have made a good episode though -CB750 rebuild after oil pressure failure!!! good luck and keep em coming

Yet another fine video Dean. Always a smart move to go through everything and be absolutely sure first. This time it pays off, big time. Of course it's always fun when things are in perfect condition as well. Lookin forward to the carb episode. Sure wish your videos were around when I was workin on my 77 750f SS. The Internet wasn't really a thing then...

What a precious work, again! Congrats.

GREAT.. 1000 thanks for your video!! that really help me!!!

looking so good man.

Very interesting explanations !

Great videos!

thanks for another great video Dino! I'm sure you know this, but an easy way (but not always there) to see if a screw is JIS is the dot punched into the screw head

awesome vid thank you

bien! un video mas para disfrutar, un cordial saludo

new camera? the quality is amazing. maybe it's my imagination.

Why do you use Hondabond sometimes and Permatex aviation gasket maker sometimes? Your videos are a great resource. Thanks so much.

good stuff

Did you need to prime the pump before installing at all?

Name Reggie have you ever work on a 77cb750a transmission IAM doing a rebuild and love all you videos they have help tremendously. If you got any tip let me know.

Really glad you checked that oil pump. That could have been a horrible oversight and ruined all your hard work. Love the vids!

Dino, at 29.41, there appears to be a crack on the relief valve housing...maybe it's just a casting mark but considering the stress that has been previously applied to the cap I thought I'd point it out! Good work bud.

Dimple drill the rotor lubes the pump better. Chevy ls oil pump trick

As often happens I ought to have watched further. Now I understand the comment about o rings, now with my parts guy head on I'd have to say yes always use genuine. With my lowly paid parts guy head on though I never have a problem with using something cheaper if I can get it but I agree it's worth doing like you have and testing one in oil first. When I buy cheap handlebar grips or fork gaiters and they perish in months it's minor annoyance and I learn my lesson and buy genuine or better quality replacements but if a seal fails in an engine it gets expensive.

Do you have circular markings all through the casing and rotors I call them in your oil pump as I seem to have

Hey, this rubber valve sits there just to let out air from oil to ensure that everything who is in lubricating system- just pure oil.

I recall this mc was a dry sump engine lub system. Is there a scaveng pump somewhere? Maybe I missed that in your vid.

Any chance you will be doing a Triumph T120 Bobber or Board Tracker build in the future? That would be awesome with your long videos.

would a 2ltr oil tank be ok on a k3?

what happened with part 17

Always prime the oil pump by bathing it in a container of oil and turn it by hand until the air bubbles burp out , otherwise that pocket of air trapped in there is a pain to get out upon spinning the motor to build up critical oil pressure . Ask me how i know...

We've always called that second valet a "low pressure bypass valve" or "failure bypass". I doubt Honda calls it either of those but that's close enough I guess..

Dino, you aren't supposed to mix rubber with petroleum unless its the right type of rubber. The oil will make the o-rings swell up and degrade very quickly. You might want to double check those o-rings are safe to use with petroleum products.

Gerotor/Trochoid oil pump

1st.. Subscribed..

At 14:00 when you are torquing down the plate it looks like a lip of the plate may be caught above the aluminium in the vice where the base is held. So I'm just a bit concerned you may have had an incorrect actual torque applied. I don't want something going wrong with the heart of your engine as soon as you fire it up.

any idea how much this has cost so far (man hours + parts cost)?

dont force anything... hits with hand lol 30:27

Hope that machinist is not like some have i have dealt with in the past. Keeps any extras like hung dowel pins, metering valves etc still in the head lol. He might have sold you your own oil restrictors lol.

I need 2 ORIFICE, OIL CONTROL 12238-300-010 How do I get some.

Please get a metric torque wrench. All that furlong per 'F squared over cubits nonsense is dated.
