Yep, two different types, you have an early style gasket on a later style barrel. : (

Glad you discovered that. The crank will have been getting plenty of oil.......

Hi Steve,
Bummer about the gasket, went through a couple re-do's on the CB77 last year too! Yes April is approaching fast and I do have a '63 CL72 to take. Won't be a resto like the CB, just a running riding project for someone else. I've got a three day weekend and need to get on this to get it ready.

Good score on the '79 CBX and the CB1100!

Yes.
You have the early issue which was used with the 8 hole cylinder where the oil went direct to the LS stud and cross over on the cylinder.
The correct gasket for your engine has 9 holes. ...................lm

Finally, after two long weeks of waiting, my gasket finally showed up. Two weeks to get here from Texas. I figured it would take the usual 3 to 5 days at the longest to get here. I ordered a mud flap for the 1100 from the UK that got here in less time. I will never make that mistake again.

Now that's more like it!

I put the motor back together today and I hope to have it mounted back on the bike tomorrow. I am looking forward to posting a video of it sitting there running nicely once I get everything buttoned back up.

As usual, nice work, Steve. Can't wait for the video.
