Hi, I've been messing with motorcycle maintenance for years but this week I've had a real desire to learn more about how engines work, especially Honda...
  Sam,  It's real simple "your" bike engine "The black beauty". is an overhead cammed engine and the cam is over the combustion chamber.  On the over...
As a quick answer OHC is just that a cam over the top of the valves usually driven by a chain off the crankshaft on a 2:1 ratio. Rocker arms in the head on an...
Kenny you beat me to it. I guess that I was too long winded. Scott ... From: kenny martin <hilobam@...> Subject: Re: [Small-Honda-Singles] OHC or OHV...
Hi, An OHC has a camchain, upped and lower cam sprokets and camtensioner mechanism. An OHV has pushrods and a cam gear to turn crankshaft rotation into up and...
Nice Bikes! The Honda 67 looks like the S90 imported to the states. The Superdream does look like a clone of the supercub...Because of this, you might get...
Thanks for all the replies, simple and detailed. I really appreciate it. The Honda '67 (SS50E) is an overhead cam engine, great. I'm assuming my 2009...
... Someone previously mentioned the basic tenet of determining OHV v. OHC - the head either has a spark plug and fins (OHV) or a round cover (OHC) on the...
Does anyone know if an 1982 Honda ATC185 engine will bolt into an 1972 SL frame??....I am looking for a little more power and can get the engine for a good...

Hi, I've heard "Check your points" many, many times over a long space of time but never understood what they are. Searching the net for "motorcycle points" is...
Fingers? No. They won't fit. You need the tools. Ear? Yes. The sound comes out to the ear. This demands the engine be hot, not just warm. I mesh the two, tools...
Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Cold, you could get away with it on my bike - maybe- but only after a lot of trial and error and using tappet noise, but to...
Hello Sam Search on Ignition timing or Points/coil Ignition. Basically the points open and close under the control of a cam thereby making and breaking an...
Back when C100s, etc. were current in the USA, Honda had a special tool for setting the valve clearances based on a quarter turn of the adjuster -- the threads...
That tools sounds wicked. Can you still get them? Is it a safe assumption the threads are still the same in the C100 range? (C100M8 Honda Superdream 100cc...
