Re: Bying parts
If your talking about www.honda600carparts.com the the answer is yes, very good company to buy from. Getting ready to buy another big order right now myself.

Re: Buying parts

I have to say no.
bruce a. w hiting, the person listing on that site is a thief, he is using a picture of my car (the orange coupe) on his site that I have asked him not to.
Almost everything he has on that site is available for less through other sources. Or the item is not proven with time e.g. distributor/cam and clutch seals are not directional like the originals.
- The gasket material he uses is too thin and can allow leaks or seizing at the cam bearing caps.
- Industry stopped making the (early) electronic voltage regulator he has on his site because they were noted for over charging the system and there are no adjustments. These are not the same as the ones used in the later model alternators.
- All of the zinc plated items you can have replated yourself for a lot less than $55.00 an item.
- The original coil is easy to rebuild as it is normally the cables going to the spark plugs that go bad. I have an easy to follow instruction on the ANZhonda600owners yahoo group site,
.
If you want to rebuild yours.
- If you have to have your clutch disc rebuilt there are rebuilders that will do it for about $20.00 less than he has them for. All you have to say is that you want them to use the MGB friction disc's. As far as resurfacing your drum and pressure plate, use an 80 grit disc and clean them up. Normally they are not scored because the rivets in the friction disc are brass which is a much softer metal than the clutch drum or pressure plate. If anything the diaphragm spring and the torque spring bolts (3 of them) are broken and they will need replacing. But there are plenty of them out there.
As far as rebuilding the Honda 600 engine, there are key points that need to be looked at and changed out if at all possible.
- Oil pump rod and eccentric hub.
- Oil pump needle bearing - old one can be reused if the bearings are not warn.
- Cam and Clutch seals if not pliable.
- Cam Chain if stretched
- Cam tension lower roller
- Cam center roller and roller ends
- Cam chain slipper and fix the keeper dowels top and bottom.
- Drive chains if stretched
- Drive sprocket dampers if hard.
- Shift shaft seal
- All gaskets, using an asbestos formulated gasket material and Head Gasket - note: if you are reusing your old head gasket use some gasket sealer on the rear section of the gasket (even the original gaskets had a sealer there). Also, don't use more than 35 pounds feet of torque on the head bolts as there is a real possibility of cracking your cam box.
- Crank shaft - which is most likely not available, so using your old crankshaft is ok, but it needs to be check out; all the outer bearing cages (they will show the rollers cutting into the bearing cage), move the inner bearings and rod bearings by checking for wear (by rotating and feeling for a rough roller and up and down, side to side is ok as these bearings are pinned in place). The bearings are checked by cleaning them with spray parts cleaner watching for metal chips and then loading them with oil and lightly tapping them listening for that metal to metal (ting) sound (which is an indication of wear) or a (thud) which indicates no movement or wear.
Also, go to the group page in the files area - there are how to's on fixing your beaker plate, checking the cam chain and a list of all the bolts and sizes.
http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/anz ... ers/files/
Also, if your getting things Zinc plated, do all your bolts too. Bare steel bolts to aluminum causes electrolysis (bimetallic corrosion) making the aluminum cases look tarnished and start to exfoliate. Plating them stops the electrolysis and helps to keep your engine looking clean.
I know this is long winded but the goal is to do things right the first time, talk to people in this group who have worked to make things better, did the ir home work and understand what really does work and what doesn't .
