What engines swap easily into a 79 CB750? The exisiting runs, but I guess the cam chain has worn through the case (so I was told)... leaks like a sive where the jugs meet the crank case.
Cousin just dropped it off in my garage saying he doesn't want it.
Ps...anyone want a 200cc Honda quad project?
swap out the chain and tentioner rub blocks and jb weld it?
Would that be sufficient? any particular blend of JB?
Do what all the old bike guys do and weld it up?

CBR600 engine? Old GSXR 600 or 750 oil-cooler? Huge two-stroke thumper from a dirt bike? The possibilities are endless.
Another CB750 shouldn't be extremely hard to find. I sold one for $50 last year.

I don't think this bike needs that much hp....I could be wrong though. 34 year old brake technology and 150hp? sure...

How about a diesel engine?
Go 5HP Briggs and Stratton. That would be interesting!
How do you loose 10 lbs off a motorcycle for free?

It's a shame they went out of fashion, they were a great fairing.
Do you want that one? it's in pretty good shape.

Also, time for my traditional old Honda question: Is the tool kit still under the seat?
You know...I don't know. cousin forgot the key. when i get it, I'll check
Here is the damage I need to replace. Looks like a previous owner tried to patch it, but it still leaks oil.
Not sure if this is JBWeld-able or if I just replace it.
Clean it up and see theres tons of E36 M3 there...
