Sorry. Yes. Thank you G-Man. Forgot to add that the crown needs to be machined, I don't know how much but given there are almost certainly no ASSO pistons about I might move to CB350 ones as the supply is cheap and readily available. I've spoken to those who used to race the CB72/77 in the 90s and i...

You can use CB350 standard pistons, they are 64mm. I have not used them, but just melted my ASSO 64mm ones so might have to. To go that big you need to shorten and fit CB750 liners and open up the crankcase. You also need an oversize head gasket, I get them from America, but I have used CB77 standar...

Looking for ones with spines worn/cracked etc etc. I have a right one in great condition but I am loathed to modify a good part - let me...

Just stripped two pairs of steel ones. One needed a little bit of gentle heat before I could undo it using a strap wrench. The other came off easily.

Oversize head gasket

I race a CB72 bored to 64mm. I am finishing the refresh and need to replace the head gasket. Last year I used a CB77 standard gasket, which was ok, but the edge of the piston just clips it Boretech in the states do a 66mm gasket, but that's about 150$ to get it to England. Having gaskets made will b...

Did you find anything? I bought a CB72 which sounds similar. When I dropped the oil I found fine brass deposits in it. I took the filter out and it was heavily deposited with thick oil, fine brass and aluminium/steel. I pulled the engine, stripped the bottom end down and found nothing worn. I did fi...
