Motorcycle Repair: 1971 cb 175 head gasket, valve cover gasket, head gasket
QuestionI need to replace the head gasket on my 1971 cb 175 (oil leak). Where are the alignment marks/How do I set the cam/flywheel to make sure alignment is correct when I reassemble? Also, what tool do I need to separate the cam chain and is the master link obvious? When replacing the valve cover gasket, I noticed that the oil was coming from the head gasket instead.

AnswerHi Jens,
Unless you can find a service manual for this motorcycle, I recommend having a local Honda tech perform this work for you.
My resources don't date back that far. I certainly cannot remember the specs and procedures.
Respectfully,
