Here is a thread I started on this subject.

Someone else may chime in.

I can't help you with that question.

Do not lose the oil restrictor when you take the head off.

Here is the answer to all your future questions about the heads.

Which bike are you looking for?
From Honda parts catalog for 83's
Gl1100 3 of this # 90152-371-000
Gl1100 asp 3 90152-463-770
GL1100 ins 3 " " " "

I have no idea what a 12-17 is.
I have a set of shocks off an gl1100 if interested.

Yes 77-83 are interchangable

When I am looking for Honda parts, grease, and things for the bike, I routinely check the Honda car dealer for parts etc.. They have some of the things that go both on cars and bikes with the same part #'s and usually cheaper.

When I needed to replace my valves I bought another head off e-bay and used them. New ones cost a bundle.

search these #s on google to find new ones.

intake valve 14711-mb9-780
exhaust valve 14721-mb9-780

Agreed .

Grease tends to fling off. It also turns liquid when it gets hot. Moly will not do either.

I apply Moly on all surfaces

Yes you can move the engine ONLY clockwise. Did the stems drop down when you removed the shaft and rope?

Once you get the camshaft out you can inspect the stems. Will they move?

When you put the cam back together torque the six bolts to 15 ft. # In 3 steps 5# then 10# and finish at 15# in sequence.

If the other side ain't broke don't fix it.

What happens when you turn the motor from the back? If you get any resistance then my guess is to pull the head. Put new guides in while you are there. Here is a link to my record of restoring bikes when I first get them. Scroll down and read the thread. https://www.classicgoldwings.com/forum/viewto...

Don't be sorry. That is why we like this forum. Only dumb question is the one not asked. Take spark plug out. Fill chamber with small rope. This keeps the valve rods from dropping out of reach. Take the back plate of the timing belt cover off. 2 bolts behind the timing wheel. Unbolt the 6 bolts hold...

If the bike is selling for $300 - $400 may work for you. RED Flags are still flying on this. Make sure you get the title and bike before forking over your money. To answer your question: links to my 2 bike records: Shold give you an idea for parts, honda part number and prices. Make sure you scroll ...

To check the rod you will need to pull the head. Before you pull it

Take out the spark plug and feed a small rope (as much as you can) into the firing chamber. This will prevent the valve from dropping down.

Take the rocker panel off and check the stems. This may save you a head gasket.

napa belt # 250274.

Yes you can turn it by hand. Get the belts at napa
belt 250274
fuel filter 3011

Check the pistons on the brakes before you ride it.


By the way


GOOD LUCK!!!!!!

I use heated gloves and vest with my 1100 w/ no alt.conversion, with no problems.
Do not know about 2 sets running at the same time.

I have had my HF table for about a year.
Yes fill the bottle jack up with fluid.
I have had no problems with mine either. I would recommend it to others. The front tire chock is good and holds the front wheel in place.
I made some foot boards so I can ride the bike up and not fall over.

go to Harbor Freight with a 20% off coupon.

google just the part number

12238-371-000

You will find several places.

If you need someone in the US to send it to you I would do that for you.

40200-mb9-000
40200-mb9-010

It comes as a complete unit. shaft comp, drive

Do not try to clean it up. Just fill it up with epoxy.
