I am curious. Who is this "Ed" you speak of? I am new here and don't know these things?

Dear Ole, Ed is what I call the 72/77 Honda "Guru". I know that there are others who are also very good but overall Ed is exceptional. All the best Jerry

I have been amassing parts and over the weekend I finally made some progress. Stuck pistons are free. Next step will be getting the cylinders rebored. I have a nos set of 2nd over. Hoping this will work. The sleeves are nice below where the pistons were stuck, above there is some pitting

And ran into an issue. The NOS 2nd over piston set is actually for a cb72 so time to search for pistons again.
