More and more surprising!! VIN-1014046/E-1014138
Steve Swan:
yeah.... i saw the allen screws. i did not look closely at vin font. i thought the vin pad looked like die cast... ? (has a raised ridge around pad periphery.... right ?)
Steve Swan:
yes, the last 7 digits are clearly not honda vin font. also looks like there's been someting done to surface of the vin pad so the last 7 digits could be altered. the "CB750E" appears honda factory font; makes me think there was honda font vin, the vin pad surface was disturbed to obscure original vin and then numbers were stamped in the non-honda font. also, the cases appear perfectly smooth, strongly suggesting die cast cases. and there is a raised ridge around pad periphery.

Yes, it is a very good analysis of the detail!! ;)
I had not noticed that numbers have the end were not of origin Honda and that they had been redone!!
The mystery clears up little... The positive point, it is because it was done well!!
Could we think that this K0 has the exit of assembly lines was in reality Sandcast after E-1007414 (French Sandcasts)??
Afterward the Crankcases Sandcast would have been broken by the chain as many Sandcasts at that time and replaced by Crankcases Diecast with the numbers redoes..
It would explain this clutch cover "9/10" on this engine Diecast but this cover had risen in fact has the origin on an engine
Sandcast after-period?? :-[ :-\
But all this is only suppositions..
When in screws, many K0 had Phillips screws changed by screws Allen..
Steve Swan:
the proof of the pudding will be in removing the clutch cover to count the total number of threaded holes in the crank case set. i'm guessing 10 holes.
4pots1969:
My English is bad and I believe that I do not arrive has
to explain to me and has to make me understand..
Yes, I agree and not need to remove the clutch cover.
It is an engine Diecast thus one 10 holes.
I think that before this current engine Diecast, the one who
was the first original engine had to be an engine Sandcast and
it shall explain the clutch cover "9/10" put back on this engine Diecast..
I am going to try to go back up to the preceding owner and maybe
that he can inform me a little more about the first Engine of origin and why
this clutch cover "9/10" gone back up on the Diecast and reserved usually
for the Sandcasts after period... To follow...
