Not at all Slow. Lazy in AZ does write a mean tech article but I'm happy to hear other thoughts too. I know many a keyboard has been worn out...
Hey Slow. Thanks for the post. I have read that it is best to stay with petroleum based motor oil in older engines. Wanted to get Lazy's take...
Would appreciate your thoughts on using a synthetic motor oil in a vintage engine. I've often read that it is best to use Honda GN4 or other...
Hi Tink! True enough,,,though there isn't a gear driven cam 500cc Second Gen option. I've been looking into an NC30 or NC35 but they are grey...
For reference a cam cap comparison (photos originally posted by 'sirepair' on the Yahoo Groups VF500F website) '84/85 [IMG] '86 [IMG]
Thank you for the post. I really appreciate you taking the time to write down your thoughts on this topic. The '86's camshafts, being align...
Thanks Grey. I'll check out the video.
Thanks for the post Grey. Interesting note on 'backing-off' the pressure on the cam... In part I was asking about the caps as a little while ago...

Great post! Thank you DG. Given all you know, would you forgo using the tool?
Side note - as a fan of phrases - where does 'breaking a bowling ball in a sandbox' come from - haven't heard this one before but I like it!
Thank you for the post Grey. I'm still a bit puzzled... If you have a valve lash reading of 0mm when the tool is removed compared to setting the...
^ Thanks for the post. An interesting topic for sure!
I see, so .16mm with the tool = .00mm when you check without the tool? This leads me to ask, how do VF engines survive when you do not use the...
If I could ask, the '84 FSM that I have notes the intake valve lash at .12mm and the exhaust valve lash at .13mm. The FSB notes .16mm when using...
It has been a great epic with must see action and edge of your seat subplots! You definitely earned your stripes on this rebuild. I'm sure...
You meet the nicest people on a Honda!
I'm a bit partial to the vintage Honda candy colors especially the Aleutian Blue ;-)
