You might check it first, Tazz. I just had mine off. At 40000 miles, it is good to go. Given the difficulty finding one and/or the price, I would not do a spare unless definitely defined need.

Do you have the Honda CBX shop manual? If not - STOP - until you get one. You are really asking for trouble without one, especially for this job.

AGREE!! And, concur!! Tazz (and all) here's a possible source for manual: http://www.helminc.com/helm/search_serv ... ss%5F2=AHC another source: http://www.repairmanual.com/product-cat ... e-manuals/ Manuals at either are about $40. Copies of factory manuals. Do be aware if using the 1979/1980 manual that it may show incorrect cam shaft orientation as noted in other posts frequently in this forum.

Great! Then there shouldn't be much mystery about how to proceed. It's all spelled out there.

Hi guys I remove the valve cover good NEWS I don't need any pool plates they are all there. I also did the cam hole the holds the valve cover-down with Heli-Coil all went smooth I also did a valve job Sh%^& :evil: want a job to do the valves I guess it get easy the more time you do it not the I want but again I guess is better than giving Honda a 1000 dollar to do the job. Next is the cam chain :evil: I let you guys know how it went.
