Hi everyone. I just thought I would give you all a short bio on my cars. I have three 600's total. A 1972 Z600 and 2 N600's. One 1971 and 1 1972. The N's are a new purchase. Kind of squarish aren't they? One is a runner and one has engine out and rebuilt, but not installed. They were stored in a semi trailer since 1982. They came with a truck bed of parts too. I was noticing in a couple of the extra engines I got that they look complete, but they have a rubber wheel that the timing chain rides on that are deteriorated. It makes me wonder what the ones in the assembled engines look like. Does anyone have a source for them or do I need to fabricate something to go there? Also the fuel tanks are full of debris. Has anyone had any luck with the epoxy lining or can new tanks be found? Or maybe adapt a fuel cell? I am sure to have lots of questions and probably some parts to get someone elses cars rolling too. It looks like someone dissasembled a couple cars and stored all the parts. If anyone has any advice or recommendations on my questions or just general advice on what to look for, I would appreciate it. Thanks again!

Re: Hello group
Welcome to the group! You have definately come to the right place. You will find that no question goes unanswered here.
You can also go to the group website and keyword-search the archives for info on any Honda600 related issue.
That's quite a find you made, 3 cars and a boatload of parts - terrific.
Regarding the chain roller guide, that is a pretty sought-after item. Ebay lists one occasionally. If you can successfully create one, you will likely find a buyer or two here.
Speaking of other folks needing certain bits, I am looking for a couple of small Coupe items...

Re: Hello group
Thanks Steven. I was pretty happy. The guy bought them to pull behind a motorhome, but never got around to it and finally ended up with a diesel pusher.
I will look into trying to find a way to fab the roller guides. I'm going to drop a shopping cart wheel in oil and gasoline for a month and then run a bicycle chain hooked up to a motor around it for awhile and see how it holds up. If it works out, I think I can turn it down to size and incorporate a good bearing and square mount without too much trouble. Will let you know how it goes.
