In this video, we’re diving into the assembly process—the final step in restoring one of these classic engines. This series isn’t meant to be a step-by-step guide, but rather a companion to the Honda service manual, providing additional insight to help you tackle your rebuild at home. CB350 / CL350 / SL350 Factory Service Manuals: https://support.common-motor.com/hc/e... Rebuilding an engine takes precision, and getting the bottom end right is crucial. In this video, we’ll walk you through the key steps for installing oil seals, the kickstarter shaft, shift drum, transmission, and crankshaft before sealing the crankcases. As we start, you’ll see that some oil seals go in now, while others will be installed later when the crankcases are joined. The factory installs them dry, but adding a thin coat of gasket sealer improves sealing and makes installation smoother. Most press in by hand, though some may need a socket and hammer. Next up is the kickstarter shaft, and depending on the engine generation, there may be slight differences. In this case, you’ll notice the wedge-locking gear, which helps hold everything in place, making installation easier. Moving on to the shift drum and forks, each fork fits into its groove and gets locked in with pins and spring clips—watch out for those clips, they tend to fly! Now, before installing the crankshaft, it’s checked against service limits. After applying assembly lube, it’s carefully lowered into place, making sure the connecting rods are properly guided. If it’s an endless cam chain, it goes in now; if it’s a master link chain, that can wait. Once that’s set, the shift drum indexing wheel, neutral ball detent, and neutral switch are installed. With the transmission, the output shaft goes in first, followed by the input shaft, ensuring everything aligns properly. Before closing the crankcases, we do a quick test—shifting through all gears while spinning the input shaft to make sure everything engages smoothly. Then, with the gasket surfaces cleaned and sealed, the crankcase bolts are torqued down in a crisscross pattern. And that’s it—the bottom end is fully assembled!
