They're all marked alphabetically, also I kept the dowels and bolts in their original positions too... I got some replacement OEM honda bolts from work, they're a few threads shorter but same grade bolts... Should be alright to use them...

Successful night on the CB750... The mother effer runs!!! Feels pretty good to make that happen after 15 years of rotting... It runs pretty crappy but it runs... I need to figure out how to post a video, but I will once I do...
About it running... It fired right up after the carbs filled with fuel... And as it heated up it started to have issues
... Lots of smoke... White smoke... Possibly a fair bit of carb cleaner still being blown out... I'm not too concerned, I'm not working Thursday so I'll get a whole day to mess around with things... And of course, oil leaking from the valve cover gasket... I imagined oil leaking well before I got this 'ting running...
My replacement cam holder/bearing cap bolts, (Next to one of the original bolts)...
The camshaft holders all torqued down... Without problems this time...
Valve cover back on...
Engine back into the frame...
Carbs installed...
Draining out ancient sludge...
Fuel tank, electrical hooked up... (+ cleaned up engine cover)
Vid of first start up coming soon...
Cool story about that vid... First thing this morning, in my excitement, I go to show a co-worker... But I'm soooooo tired that I go through the motions of deleting it without realizing it... Good thing I've got another clip, it's just got me talking in it... The silent one was better...
So, one step closer... But there's still a ton of things to do!
Edit: I'm an exhausted dummy... Vid's on my computer already... Diresgard everything I said...

Looks awesome. Gonna be nice to see the finished pics.
My 360 leaks and gonna leave it. But currently rewiring her.
Are you leaving the wiring stock or going to clean it up?

Def going to sort out my oil leak... As for the wiring... Hmm... I have no idea what challenges lie ahead in regards to wiring... I'll have to cross that bridge when I get there...

I dont know about the old Honda head bolts, but when i was doing engine rebulds on Volvo's the head bolts were the torque to yield or something like that...as in, once they are torqued down once, you arent supposed to reuse them. I guess you found out why...lol
good job on the rebuild BTW.
