More and more surprising!!  :o :o :o :-[ :-\        

I did not think of seeing one day this Cover Clutch "9/10" reserved
for Engines Sandcast after period gone up on an engine Diecast???

The owner is formal: this clutch cover is of origin and was never changed!!
What would be moreover the interest to change a clutch cover 10 holes for
clutch cover "9/10" on an engine planned to receive a Clutch cover 10 holes??
It would be completely absurd!! :o
 
The Engine number VIN-1014046/E-1014138 (March 10th 1970) corresponds has the period
when Honda drew crankcases Sandcasts from its reserves to feed assembly lines and that
explains these errors and this total confusion..

If it is very real we are in the big nonsense..

kp:
That is amazing to see. Thanks for sharing that anomaly with this group as it really shows anything is possible on an assembly line.  :o

Steve Swan:
if i am understanding correctly.....  :)

so, this is a "9 hole" transitional clutch cover fitted to die cast crank cases ?  goes to show there are no "hard and fast rules" to early "k0" production. 

would be very curious to know if this die cast crankcase set has 10 holes....  one would expect 10 holes in die cast crank case set. 

would be an even more huge anomoly if these die cast cases had 9 holes.....   ???

kp:
A couple of things are obvious though. The engine number has been altered. The CB750E is Honda stamping but the remaining numbers have been stamped with other than Honda stamps so any real assessment is not conclusive to these cases. Could be a set of original sandcast cases were fitted and subsequently damaged. The bolts holding the side cover are not original and the case nuts look to have been the subject of tools at some time. Just some observations

Marcello Tha:
I agree 100% with KP.
